Virginia Women is the first of two volumes exploring the history of
Virginia women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable
individuals. This collection of seventeen essays, written by
established and emerging scholars, recovers the stories and voices
of a diverse group of women, from the seventeenth century through
the Civil War era. Placing their subjects in their larger
historical contexts, the authors show how the experiences of
Virginia women varied by race, class, age, and marital status, and
also across both space and time. Some essays examine the lives of
well-known women-such as First Lady Dolley Madison-from a new
perspective. Others introduce readers to relatively obscure
historical figures: the convicted witch Grace Sherwood; the
colonial printer Clementina Rind; Harriet Hemings, the enslaved
daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Essays on the frontier heroine Mary
Draper Ingles and the Civil War spy Elizabeth Van Lew examine the
real women behind the legends. Altogether, the essays in this
collection offer readers an engaging and personal window onto the
experiences of women in the Old Dominion.
