Book Review

Southern Women at the Millennium: A Historical Perspective. Ed. by Melissa Walker, Jeanette R. Dunn, and Joe P. Dunn. (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 2003. xii, 243 pp. $44.95, ISBN 0-8262-1505-X.)

At once personal, biographical, and analytical, this work both summarizes southern women's history and forecasts trends for the gender and the region. Based on presentations at a symposium at South Carolina's Converse College, the publication allows representative historians to synthesize and evaluate scholarship on a variety of topics. The text offers diverse perspectives as the authors locate southern women in their multifaceted roles. Following Joe P. Dunn's family reminiscence and comprehensive preview of the contents, each contributor discloses a facet of southern women's lives and experiences. Jacqueline Jones surveys economic issues and work, while Sarah Wilkerson-Freeman considers political strategies. Barbara A. Woods examines civil rights actions, and Amy Thompson McCandless introduces case studies of higher education controversies. Rural women make up Melissa Walker's subject. Anne Goodwyn Jones studies literature, and Nancy A. Hardesty features religion. Carol K. Bleser concludes the volume with appreciative observations and future projections.
