Advance Praise for North Carolina Women "Stunning in scope, elegantly presented, and meticulously researched, North Carolina Women fills a huge void in our understanding of the role of women in the Tar Heel state. Not only is this essential reading for scholars, but the volume should appeal to anyone interested in North Carolina, southern, and women's history."--Alan D. Watson, University of North Carolina at Wilmington "This is a book for all North Carolinians of whatever race, age or sex. Every book club in the state should undertake it as a project. It does more than add a dimension to North Carolina history: it significantly reorders the past."--Anne Firor Scott, Duke University "Makes clear to men as well as women the mutual benefit of knowing the whole story that generations of Tar Heels have shared. To have in schools, libraries, and homes this readable and carefully researched history is a joyful circumstance for all readers, who will realize anew how much better our shared future becomes when we learn from the shared past."--Doris Betts, from the Foreword Other related information from UNC Press: Find other books in women's studies Gender and American Culture Series Light and Air: The Photography of Bayard Wootten
