Overview
Beyond the popular myths of spirited young women and iron-willed matrons of the 19th century South were women of substance and diversity. Many were prolific diarists, letter writers, and record keepers of deep insight and keen observation. In this important microfilm publication from UPA, fascinating collections of their writings shed light on the world they knew. Courtship, slavery, education, child rearing, marriage, and religion are common threads running through the thoughts of many disparate women documented in the series. Series D, Part 4 features the strength of home and hearth. From distant domiciles throughout the South, southern women reveal their culture, traditions, and individuality. Part 4, drawn from nineteen manuscript collections, records the experiences of scores of women and their families.
