A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2022 Hearing southern women
in the pauses of history Southern women of all classes, races, and
walks of life practiced music during and after the Civil War.
Candace L. Bailey examines the history of southern women through
the lens of these musical pursuits, uncovering the ways that
music's transmission, education, circulation, and repertory help us
understand its meaning in the women's culture of the time. Bailey
pays particular attention to the space between music as an ideal
accomplishment—part of how people expected women to perform
gentility—and a real practice—what women actually did. At the
same time, her ethnographic reading of binder’s volumes, letters
and diaries, and a wealth of other archival material informs new
and vital interpretations of women’s place in southern culture. A
fascinating collective portrait of women's artistic and personal
lives, Unbinding Gentility challenges entrenched assumptions about
nineteenth century music and the experiences of the southern women
who made it.
