southern history at Northeastern Illinois University. Together they

“While the stories of towering figures like Septima Clark and Jean
Hoefer Toal will ring familiar, most of this volume reveals women
working in schools, farms, factories, and an astonishing array of
voluntary associations to improve education and health, challenge
racial discrimination, and open opportunities for women. South
Carolina is a better place because of their unsung efforts, and
their compelling stories challenge us to reframe our understanding
of the twentieth century. This much needed book opens that
possibility.”—Sara Evans, author of Born for Liberty: A History of
Women in America
""These wonderfully diverse stories of the lives and works of South
Carolina women will instruct, surprise, and inspire readers of all
kinds. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand our common
past.""—Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, Julia Cherry Spruill Professor of
History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
