Beyond Image and Convention: Explorations in Southern Women's History. Ed. by Janet L. Coryell, et al. (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1998. xii, 224 pp. Cloth, $37.50, isbn 0-8262-1172-0. Paper, $16.95, isbn 0-8262-1173-9.)

Beyond Image and Convention presents nine essays from the Third Southern Conference on Women's History, held at Rice University in June 1994 and sponsored by the Southern Association of Women Historians (SAWH).
