Daughters of Canaan : a saga of southern women

"In her study of southern women's experiences across the centuries, Wolfe considers many ordinary lives, examines critical eras and the impact of time and the pressure of historical forces on the region's females."@en
"In her study of southern women's experiences across the centuries, Wolfe considers many ordinary lives, examines critical eras and the impact of time and the pressure of historical forces on the region's females."
"From Gone with the Wind to Designing Women, images of southern females that emerge from fiction and film tend to obscure the diversity of American women from below the Mason-Dixon line. In a work that deftly lays bare a myriad of myths and stereotypes while presenting true stories of ambition, grit, and endurance, Margaret Ripley Wolfe offers the first professional historical synthesis of southern women's experiences across the centuries. In telling their story, she considers many ordinary lives -- those of Native-American, African-American, and white women from the Tidewater region and Appal."@en
