In this innovative work, Danny L. Miller surveys some of the
depictions of mountain women from the 1880s to the 1950s, in the
writings of Mary Noailles Murfree, Edith Summers Kelley, Anne W.
Armstrong, Emma Bell Miles, Jesse Stuart, James Still, and
Harriette Arnow. The major aims of the study are to show changes in
the descriptions of mountain women--from non-native to native
portrayals; from romantic to realistic presentations; and from an
emphasis on victimization and drudgery to an emphasis on strength
and endurance. Miller identifies qualities that have consistently
characterized mountain women in literature.
