Capturing the fluctuating cultural environment of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, Davis's stories explore such issues as racial prejudice and slavery, the powerlessness of women, and the effects of postwar market capitalism on the working classes. They also position her as a major transitional writer between romanticism and realism.
