Unheard voices : the first historians of southern… por Anne Firor Scott

Dr. Scott gave a brief biography and evaluation of their careers as historians of "five women who had lived, studied, or worked within a twelve-mile radius of each other in North Carolina" during the late 1920s and 30s (p. 1). These historians are: Virginia Gearhart Gray, Marjorie Mendenhall, Julia Cherry Spruill, Guion Griffis Johnson, and Eleanor Miot Boatwright. Following that chapter, Dr. Scott included an essay on women's history by each of these historians preceded by a brief introduction in which she gave a brief background concerning the importance of the essay. Pictures of each historian as a young woman and as a mature woman are included.
