Taking Off the White Gloves: Southern Women and Women Historians (Southern Women)by Michele Gillespie
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The ten timely and provocative essays in Taking Off the White Gloves represent the collective wisdom of some of the finest scholars on women's history in the American South. On the eve of the thirtieth anniversary of the Southern Association for Women Historians, this volume brings together some of the outstanding lectures delivered by distinguished members of the association over the past fifteen years. Spanning four centuries of women's experiences in the South, the topics featured in Taking Off the White Gloves range from Native American sexuality and European conquest to woman suffrage in the South, from black women's protest history to the status of women in the historical profession at the end of the twentieth century. Taking Off the White Gloves invites a new understanding of the complexities that surround the history of southern women across race, class, place, and time. A model of innovative and imaginative scholarly historical writing, this book provides fertile ground for young scholars and is sure to inspire new research. This thought-provoking volume has much to offer scholars and students, as well as the general reader. Book News Annotation:Presents selected papers from three conferences of the Southern

conquest to black women's protest history in the late 20th century.

combinations of literary analysis, social history, cultural
interpretation, popular culture, and oral history.
