largesse of the Rochester Ladies’ Antislavery Society collection at the Clements Library but also Julia Wilbur’s papers at Haverford College. The latter contains two series of diaries that Wilbur kept in tandem, one a series of pocket diaries and the other a longer and more extensive set of personal reflections. With the assistance of the Friends of Alexandria Archaeology, Whitacre turned the latter into part of a digital project and the years 1860–66 are accessible and searchable online. Whitacre’s work with that agency makes those sections of her volume particularly rich in detail and context. Academic historians may wish for more grounding in historiography and intersectional gender interpretation. Certainly, A Civil Life in an Uncivil Time is replete with intriguing opportunities for discussion surrounding single women, choices not to marry, and the different perceptions that Jacobs and Wilbur may have had of their relationship or of the conditions that they observed, such as freedpeople living in one of the most notorious former slave pens in the city. Still, Whitacre tells a compelling and recognizably human story that will contribute well to the ongoing study of the long view of antislavery women’s lives and careers.

暴风雨的现在：保守主义和北方政治中的奴隶制问题，1846-1865

罗切斯特女士反奴隶制协会在克莱门茨图书馆的大量收藏，还有哈弗福德学院的朱莉娅威尔伯的论文。后者包含威尔伯一前一后保存的两个系列日记，一个是一系列袖珍日记，另一个是更长、更广泛的个人反思集。在亚历山大考古之友的帮助下，惠特克将后者变成了数字项目的一部分，并且可以在线访问和搜索 1860-66 年。Whitacre 与该机构的合作使她的作品中的这些部分在细节和背景方面特别丰富。学术历史学家可能希望在史学和交叉性别解释方面有更多的基础。当然，《不文明时代的公民生活》充满了有趣的讨论机会，可以围绕单身女性、不结婚的选择、以及雅各布斯和威尔伯对他们的关系或他们观察到的条件可能有不同的看法，例如生活在该市最臭名昭著的前奴隶围栏之一的自由人。尽管如此，惠特克还是讲述了一个引人入胜且可辨认的人类故事，这将有助于正在进行的反奴隶制妇女生活和职业的长远研究。
