Book Description
Excerpt from The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America: Tenth Biennial Council Historians Address Her reports* have been of inestimable value to me. They have helped me at every turn. Her method of presentation as well as collation of a great and almost bewildering mass of facts of value, has been so admirable that I can only follow in her footsteps. What deviation I may make will be made because of changes in the aims or in the conduct of the Society. Those of us who have come to these our Councils and thus felt the pulse of our National Society life, must realize the steady widening of our interests and the inevitable concurrent increase in the complexity of our mechanism. Already we are a Society of greater power and importance than our Founders planned; and we are informed with a missionary zeal which however they may now approve, did not belong to the original scheme.

Book Description
In Women and the Historical Enterprise in America, Julie Des Jardins explores American women's participation in the practice of history from the late nineteenth century through the end of World War II, a period in which history became professionalized as an increasingly masculine field of scientific inquiry. Des Jardins shows how women nevertheless transformed the profession during these years in their roles as writers, preservationists, educators, archivists, government workers, and social activists. Des Jardins explores the work of a wide variety of women historians, both professional and amateur, popular and scholarly, conservative and radical, white and nonwhite. Although their ability to earn professional credentials and gain research access to official documents was limited by their gender (and often by their race), these historians addressed important new questions and represented social groups traditionally omitted from the historical record, such as workers, African Americans, Native Americans, and religious minorities. Assessing the historical contributions of Mary Beard, Zora Neale Hurston, Angie Debo, Mari Sandoz, Lucy Salmon, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dorothy Porter, Nellie Neilson, and many others, Des Jardins argues that women working within the broadest confines of the historical enterprise collectively brought the new perspectives of social and cultural history to the study of a multifaceted American past. In the process, they not only developed the field of women's history but also influenced the creation of our national memory in the twentieth century.
