What Season 3 of Dickinson

Season 3 finds Emily at the most productive stage of her career as a poet, in the middle of the American Civil War. As the country suffers more and more casualties, an equally fierce battle divides the Dickinson family itself, and Emily tries to heal those rifts. She wonders whether art can keep hope alive and whether the future can be better than the past. Along with her brothers Austin and Lavinia, and with Sue Gilbert, her best friend and Austin's fiancée, Emily faces the pressures of a society that expects something different from her. Lavinia and Emily organize a sewing circle to support the troops, with help from Betty, the best seamstress in Amherst.
