| Sumario: | Anne Firor Scott's 'The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930' stirred a keen interest among historians in both the approach and message of her book. Using women's diaries, letters, and other personal documents, Scott brought to life southern women as wives and mothers, as members of their communities and churches, and as sometimes sassy but rarely passive agents. This book brings together chapters by scholars at the forefront of contemporary scholarship on American women's history, each regarding 'The Southern Lady' as having shaped her historical perspective and inspired her choice of topics in important ways. |
