Born into a former slaveholding family, Elizabeth, Grace and
Katharine Lumpkin were raised in a culture of white supremacy.
While Elizabeth remained a lifelong believer, her sisters
reinvented themselves as radical thinkers, working for racial
justice, women's liberation and labour rights. National Humanities
Award-winning historian Jacquelyn Dowd Hall traces the sisters from
their childhood in the Deep South to the progressive zeal of the
early twentieth century and towards our contemporary moment. By
threading these women's stories through a century of history,
social movements and intellectual debates, Hall makes visible
forgotten sites of experimentation and creative thinking. She
demonstrates how the fraught ties of sisterhood were tested and
frayed as each sister struggled, albeit in radically different
ways, to reinvent herself as a modern woman, grapple with a legacy
of racism and remake the American South as a place to call home.
