Description

From the end of Reconstruction and into the New South era, more than one thousand white southern women attended one of the Seven Sister colleges: Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, and Barnard. Joan Marie Johnson looks at how such educations - in the North, at some of the country's best schools - influenced southern women to challenge their traditional gender roles and become active in social reforms of the Progressive Era South. In their time, these women would make up a disproportionately high percentage of the elite southern female leadership. This collective biography highlights the important part they played in forging new roles for women, especially in social reform, education, and suffrage.

Author Biography:

Joan Marie Johnson, visiting lecturer in the Department of History at Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, is the editor of Southern Women at Vassar: The Poppenheim Family Letters, 1882-1916.
