| This collection of essays on civil rights initiatives in Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee goes well beyond merely documenting southern white women's contributions between World War II and 1970. In addition to detailing a wide array of strategies white women employed in pursuit of improved race relations, the authors also provide sophisticated analyses of the origins, range, and significance of female activism. |
