Download or read book Women of the American South written by Christie Farnham and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1997-11 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
