Long Vistas
Author: Katherine Harris
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
"Long Vistas describes an era before and after the turn of the century when women and families homesteaded the grasslands of northeastern Colorado. With Congress's passage of the Homestead Act in 1862, women as well as men were entitled to claim 160 acres of the nation's hinterlands. What the act's supporters had not anticipated, however, was the effect homesteading would have on women. For the first time, in a nation whose founders linked land with wealth and political power, large numbers of women had access to landownership and to a taste of the empowerment that it could bring." "Long Vistas presents the stories of women who claimed land, and of other women who helped earn patents on land claimed by their husbands and fathers. Regardless of whose name appeared on a land claim, homesteading required the cooperation of family and neighbors. Women, men, and children worked, prayed, and played together. Mingling freely, homesteaders lowered barriers of age and gender, undermining time-honored hierarchies governing family and community life. The presence of landowning women reinforced this easy sociability by demonstrating a fuller range of options for what women and girls could do and be." "Drawing on reminiscences and never-before published oral histories, personal papers, and land records, historian Katherine Harris takes a fresh, sometimes controversial, look at the impact of homesteading on gender roles and the distribution of economic power between women and men."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Bonds of Womanhood
Author: Susanna Delfino
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813154855
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Class, race, and gender collide in this insightful examination of the life of Susanna (Susan) Preston Shelby Grigsby (1830–1891)—a white plantation mistress and slaveholder who struggled to participate in the economic modernization of antebellum Kentucky. Drawing on Grigsby's correspondence, author Susanna Delfino uses Grigsby's story to explore the complex cultural and social issues at play in the state's economy before, during, and after the Civil War. Delfino demonstrates that Grigsby engaged in certain kinds of antislavery activism, such as hiring white servants as a way of conveying her support for free labor and avoiding ever selling a slave. Despite her beliefs, however, Grigsby failed to hold to her moral compass when faced with her husband's patriarchal authority or when she experienced serious economic trouble. This compelling study not only illuminates how white women participated in the South's nineteenth-century economy, but also offers new perspectives on their complicity in slavery.
