Following in the tradition of the Southern Women series, Arkansas Women highlights prominent Arkansas women, exploring women’s experiences across time and space from the state’s earliest frontier years to the late twentieth century. In doing so, this collection of fifteen biographical essays productively complicates Arkansas history by providing a multidimensional focus on women, with a particular appreciation for how gendered issues influenced the historical moment in which they lived. Diverse in nature, Arkansas Women contains stories about women on the Arkansas frontier, including the narratives of indigenous women and their interactions with European men and of bondwomen of African descent who were forcibly moved to Arkansas from the seaboard South to labor on cotton plantations. There are also essays about twentieth-century women who were agents of change in their communities, such as Hilda Kahlert Cornish and the Arkansas birth control movement, Adolphine Fletcher Terry’s antisegregationist social activism, and Sue Cowan Morris’s Little Rock classroom teachers’ salary equalization suit. Collectively, these inspirational essays work to acknowledge women’s accomplishments and to further discussions about their contributions to Arkansas’s rich cultural heritage.

Women from all over Arkansas—left out of the civil rights granted by the post–Civil War Reconstruction Amendments—took part in a long struggle to gain the primary civil right of American citizens: voting. The state’s capital city of Little Rock served as the focal point not only for suffrage work in Arkansas, but also for the state’s contribution to the nationwide nonviolent campaign for women’s suffrage that reached its climax between 1913 and 1920. Based on original research, Cahill’s book relates the history of some of those who contributed to this victorious struggle, reveals long-forgotten photographs, includes a map of the locations of meetings and rallies, and provides a list of Arkansas suffragists who helped ensure that discrimination could no longer exclude women from participation in the political life of the state and nation.

"The United States was a vital, if brief, participant in World War I - spending only eighteen months fighting in "the Great War." But that short span marked an era of tremendous change for women as they moved out of the Victorian nineteenth century and came into their own as social activists during the early years of the twentieth century. Women's organizations in Arkansas were already working to help promote children's well-being, education, and healthcare among Arkansas's poor when war broke out. Now, they were faced with a devastating world war for which they were expected to make significant contributions of time and effort. In this book, Elizabeth Griffin Hall shows how the Great War created a scenario in which Arkansas's organized women joined women throughout the nation in stepping forward and excelling at their tasks." -- p. [4] of cover.

Most of the Union soldiers who experienced the wrath of Southern women during the American Civil War came away feeling that fighting the Southern men was a more appealing proposition. General William Tecumseh Sherman said, “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years." The great value of the present volume is that it was not written for an audience outside the unreconstructed south. Even after forty years, the embers of bitterness and defense of the "Lost Cause" echo in these uncensored pages. Yet it's not all vitriol and horror. Included are stories of great humor and a remembrance of Ulysses S. Grant's kindness to a wounded rebel son. These are the women who lived through the pain and suffering of the Civil War in the South, some privileged and some...just folks. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
