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. Within the context of the historical forces that have shaped Louisiana, the contributors look at ways in which the women they profile either abided by prevailing gender norms or negotiated new models of behavior for themselves and other women.Louisiana Womenconcludes with an essay that examines women's active responses to problems that emerged in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The women whose absorbing life stories are collected here include Marie Therese Coincoin, who was born a slave but later became a successful entrepreneur, and Oretha Castle Haley, civil rights activist and leader of the New Orleans chapter of CORE. From such well-known figures as author Kate Chopin and Voudou priestess Marie Laveau, to lesser known women such as Cajun musician Cleoma Breaux Falcon, this volume reveals a compelling cross section of historical figures. The women profiled vary by race, class, political affiliation, and religious persuasion, but they all share an unusual grit and determination that allowed them to turn trying circumstances into opportunity. Lively yet rigorous, these essays introduce readers to the courageous, dedicated, and inventive women who have been an essential part of Louisiana's history. Historical figures included: Marie Th?r?se Coincoin The Baroness Pontalba Marie Laveau Sarah Katherine (Kate) Stone Eliza Jane Nicholson Kate Chopin Grace King Louisa Williams Robinson, Her Daughters, and Her Granddaughters Clementine Hunter Dorothy Dix True Methodist Women Cleoma Breaux Falcon Caroline Dormon Mary Land Rowena Spencer Oretha Castle Haley Louisiana Women and Hurricane Katrina

"This invaluable volume, consisting of eleven critical and biographical essays and an extensive bibliography, represents a rich source of insight and information on Louisiana women writers past and present. The book focuses on an array of authors - from Grace King and Alice Dunbar-Nelson to Shirley Ann Grau and Ellen Gilchrist - associated with a state whose imaginative appeal is singular even in a region rife with mythologies." "The essays are linked by a common thread: the interaction of gender and place as a dynamic of significant critical interest. In the Introduction, Barbara C. Ewell details the fundamental issues, noting that writing about Louisiana, and writing as a Louisiana woman, involves writing about life at the margins - on the borderlines where dominant and muted cultures, role definition and identity, race and class, place and places impinge. She argues that the peculiar otherness of that experience, imposed onto the more familiar layers of southern myth, gender roles, and racial prejudice, distinguishes the contributions of this group of writers to the place that Louisiana occupies in the American psyche." "Rather than attempting to confirm a canon, these essays emphasize the diversity of Louisiana women writers. The critical approaches vary from specialized or speculative comments (such as the essays on Sarah Morgan Dawson and on Kate Chopin's "Desiree's Baby") to introductory or biographical treatments (such as those on Mollie Moore Davis and Berthe Amoss). Other writers considered in the volume include Sidonie de la Houssaye, Ada Jack Carver, Katherine Anne Porter, Sheila Bosworth, and Nancy Lemann." "The Bibliography provides an indispensable new tool for researchers and a fascinating guide for anyone interested in the rich legacy of Louisiana's women writers. It is the first major survey of Louisiana women writers in more than fifty years. Although chiefly limited to imaginative writing in English, it includes entries on some two hundred authors, making it the most complete available. The entries supply names and pen names, dates of birth and death, birthplaces and other biographical information, lists of works with available publication data, and lists of secondary sources." "Intended for both scholarly and casual readers, Louisiana Women Writers will stimulate renewed interest in a rich and vigorous body of literature."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Scholars of second-wave feminism often center their research on northern thought and political activity and usually overlook the vibrant pockets of activism that existed elsewhere. In Remapping Second-Wave Feminism, Janet Allured attempts to reshape the national narrative by focusing on the grassroots women’s movement in the South, particularly in Louisiana. This book delves into unexplored origins of the feminist movement. While acknowledging the ways that the fight for African American civil rights produced the women’s liberation movement in the South—and subsequently in the North—Allured also locates other wellsprings of the movement that were particularly important to southern change-seekers, especially preexisting women’s organizations such as the League of Women Voters and the YWCA. Also, for many southern feminists, being part of a faith tradition that emphasized social justice reform is what ultimately propelled them into working for gender equality. Allured highlights key figures in Louisiana; divisions based on regional, sexual, and ideological differences; access to abortion; lawsuits that had national implications that emanated from southern women; and the fight against sexual assault and domestic violence. Through detailed archival and oral history research, she has forged a new path, making this a foundational work for the field. Remapping Second-Wave Feminism will amend how we reflexively view feminism as a northern phenomenon, giving proper due to the southern contribution.
