Review Quotes: An amazing group of women shines forth in this collection of essays. They represent the best of Georgia in the twentieth century, from the farm to the city; in the classrooms, the arts, and the halls of law; and on the streets, fighting for social justice. Georgia women have brought significant vitality and change to their home state, and their stories come together brilliantly in this volume.--Rebecca Sharpless "author of Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960"
