The variety and fevor of comment that greeted Anne Scott's The Southern Lady in 1970 can now be seen as a foreshadowing for its lasting impact. In her wide-ranging new Afterword to this edition of a work not infrequently called a classic, the noted historian describes the way it came to be written, asks what she would do differently now, and suggests areas for further exploration.

Anne Firor Scott Is Right On Target!,
By W. D. Grady (Columbus, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930 (Paperback)
In this book, Anne Firor Scott takes an in-depth look at the Woman Suffrage movement in the South. Scott is the first historian to write extensively on the subject of woman suffrage in the South. Later historians either agree or disagree with her work. This book is one of her best works. She gives the reader a good understanding of why woman suffrage was not so widely embraced by southern women. Her study looks at women's lives in the South before and after the Civil War. She explains the hardships and responsibilities of antebellum women, and the deprivations these women faced after the fall of the Confederacy. YOU CANNOT STUDY WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH WITHOUT READING THIS BOOK! It is a classic work, and I highly recommend it!

Antebellum Ladies,
By RLH (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930 (Hardcover)
Good as far as it goes. Spends a lot of time on politics towards the end. I wish I had checked it out and not bought it. I wanted something that focused on the role for ladies in the antebellum south.
