Portrait of Varina Anne (Winnie) Davis, by John P. Walker. Courtesy of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Virginia Division. On deposit at the Virginia Historical Society (VHS accession number: 1946.219)

From wiki:
Varina Anne "Winnie" Davis (June 27, 1864 – September 18, 1898) was an American author. A daughter of President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, she became known as "Daughter of the Confederacy", for her appearances with her father on behalf of Confederate veterans' groups.

For those who get CSPAN 3, today (9/24) they showed a lecture about the life of Winnie Davis. A replay of the video is on the tube as I am writing this (9/25, just after midnight ET). The video should be available online at the CSPAN History channel website.
