Midwest Book Review
This collection of essays by pioneering scholars surveys the roots and development of southern women's history and looks at the roles of white women and women of color across the boundaries of class and social status from the founding of the nation to the present. The authors analyze women's participation in prewar slavery, their representation in popular fiction, and their involvement in social movements. In no way restricted to views of the plantation South, other essays examine the role of women during the American Revolution, the social status of Native American women, the involvement of Appalachian women in labor struggles, and the significance of women in the battle for civil rights. Because of their indelible impact on gender relations, issues of class, race, and sexuality figure centrally in these analyses. Half Sisters of History will be important not only to women's historians, but also to southern historians and women's studies scholars. It will prove invaluable to anyone in search of a full understanding of the history of women, the South, or the nation itself.

“A pantheon of the most productive and respected southern women’s historians writing today. The essays display a uniformly high quality of prose; they are powerful and analytical.”
