Louisiana Women

Their Lives and Times, Volume 2

Herausgeber: Frystak, Shannon; Farmer-Kaiser, Mary

Beschreibung

Moving chronologically from the colonial period to the present, this collection of seventeen biographical essays provides a window into the social, cultural, and geographic milieu of women's lives in the state. The contributors look at ways in which the women they profile either abided by prevailing gender norms or negotiated new models of behaviour for themselves and other women.
