Tennessee women - a force in history. Including suffragists, civil
rights activists, and movers and shakers in politics and in the
music industries of Nashville and Memphis, as well as many other
notables, this collective portrait of Tennessee women offers new
perspectives and insights into their dreams, their struggles, and
their times. As rich, diverse, and wide-ranging as the topography
of the state, this book will interest scholars, general readers,
and students of southern history, women's history, and Tennessee
history.""Tennessee Women: Their Lives and Times"" shifts the
historical lens from the more traditional view of men's roles to
place women and their experiences at center stage in the historical
drama. The eighteen biographical essays, written by leading
historians of women, illuminate the lives of familiar figures like
reformer Frances Wright, blueswoman Alberta Hunter, and the Grand
Ole Opry's Minnie Pearl (Sarah Colley Cannon) and less-well-known
characters like the Cherokee Beloved Woman Nan-ye-hi (Nancy Ward),
antebellum free black woman Milly Swan Price, and environmentalist
Doris Bradshaw.Told against the backdrop of their times, these are
the life stories of women who shaped Tennessee's history from the
eighteenth-century challenges of western expansion through the
nineteenth- and twentieth-century struggles against racial and
gender oppression to the twenty-first-century battles with
community degradation. Taken as a whole, this collection of women's
stories illuminates previously unrevealed historical dimensions
that give readers a greater understanding of Tennessee's place
within environmental and human rights movements and its role as a
generator of phenomenal cultural life.
