Descendants of a prominent slaveholding family, Elizabeth, Grace,
and Katharine Lumpkin grew up in a culture of white supremacy. But
while Elizabeth remained a lifelong believer, her younger sisters
chose vastly different lives. Seeking their fortunes in the North,
Grace and Katharine reinvented themselves as radical thinkers whose
literary works and organizing efforts brought the nation's
attention to issues of region, race, and labor. In Sisters and
Rebels, National Humanities Award-winning historian Jacquelyn Dowd
Hall follows the divergent paths of the Lumpkin sisters, who were
"estranged and yet forever entangled" by their mutual obsession
with the South. Tracing the wounds and unsung victories of the past
through to the contemporary moment, Hall revives a buried tradition
of Southern expatriation and progressivism; explores the lost,
revolutionary zeal of the early twentieth century; and muses on the
fraught ties of sisterhood. Grounded in decades of research, the
family's private papers, and interviews with Katharine and Grace,
Sisters and Rebels unfolds an epic narrative of American history
through the lives and works of three Southern women.
