Women of the Mountain South
Identity, Work, and Activism
Edited by Connie Park Rice and Marie Tedesco
Scholars of southern Appalachia have largely focused their research on men, particularly white men. The essays of Women of the Mountain South debunk the entrenched stereotype of Appalachian women as poor and white, and shine a long-overdue spotlight on women too often neglected in the history of the region.
