Women of the American South – A Multicultural Reader

Autor Christie Anne Farnham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 1997
Among the most prominent icons of the American south is that of the southern belle, immortalized by such figures as Scarlett O'Hara, Dolly Madison, and Lucy Pickens (whose elegant image graced the Confederate $100 bill). And yet the women of America's south iave always defied pat generalization, no more readily forced into facle categories than women in the country's other regions.
Never before has a book of southern history so successfully integrated the experiences of white and non-white women. Among the myriad subjects addressed in the book are black women's suffrage, the economic realities of Choctaw women, female kin and female slaves in planters's wills, the northern myth of the rebel girl, second wave feminism in the South, and southern lesbians. Bringing to light the lives of Cherokee women, Appalachian "coal daughters," and Jewish women in the South, the essays all but one published in this book for the first time, ensure that monolithic representations of southern womanhood are a thing of the past.
Filling a crucial gap in southern history and women's history, Women of the American South is a valuable reference and pedagogical aid for a wide range of scholars and students.

Recenzii

""Nelson presents the tip of the iceberg of the history of the involvement of women of color, specifically, African-American women and Latinas in the movements for rights."—Conscience "This book is an important contribution to the growing reexamination of the women's health movement. This is a useful book, an interesting book, a book that tells our history."—Politics, Social Movements, and The State

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Never before has a book of southern history so successfully integrated the experiences of white and non-white women. Discrediting the myth of the Southern belle, the book brings to light the lives of Cherokee women, Appalachian "coal daughters", and Jewish women in the South. The essays--all but one published here for the first time--fill crucial gaps in southern history and women's history.
