Carol Berkin presents her lecture "Varina Howell Davis: An Independent Spirit." Varina Howell Davis was beautiful, but she was also brilliant, a woman with great intellectual curiosity, a sharp wit, and keen powers of observation of the world around her. Her letters and her memoir offer us remarkable insights into the character of political leaders of the Civil War era as well as vivid accounts of sectional tensions in the antebellum years and the tragedies of the war and its aftermath. Above all, they provide a portrait of a remarkable woman whose independent spirit could never be suppressed.
