Join the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute and The Jewish Library of Baltimore for a conversation with Melissa Klapper, co-author of The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai with Dianne Ashton, z”l

The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai, written from 1864-1865 in the antebellum South, charts Mordecai’s daily life and her evolving perspective on Confederate nationalism and Southern identity, Jewishness, women’s roles in wartime, gendered domestic roles in slave-owning households, and more. While never losing sight of the racist social and political structures that shaped Emma Mordecai’s world, The Civil War Diary provides a vivid look at the wartime experiences of a Jewish woman in the Confederate South.

Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Registration to attend is highly recommended.
