This collection of essays by eight scholars of southern women's
history traces the evolution of southern women's lives during the
twentieth century. Throughout this era, southern life, and in
particular the opportunities for southern women, changed
dramatically as southern women have taken leadership roles in
business, government, education, and social programs.
The essayists employ a variety of approaches, ranging from case
studies to historical overviews, but they all carefully place the
developments in southern women's lives in a national context. Most
important, each author seeks to understand the nature of change in
these women's lives over the last century and to forecast the
course of their lives in the future.
The first effort to synthesize research on southern women
during this period, this collection will be useful to both scholars
and students of southern history. Students will be provided with an
introduction to women's involvement in many areas of southern
society, while scholars will appreciate the essays as a guide to
new directions for research.
