In every age and in every culture there have been women who challenged the prevailing gender prescriptions and struck a nerve, resulting in waves of either change or repression. In Women and Gender in the New South, Elizabeth Hayes Turner draws on a multiplicity of sources--part of the great outpouring of works in the field of women's history that has emerged in the past 40 years--to bring together in one volume the history of conservative, moderate, and even radical women's groups.
