Recensioner i media

Alabama Women: Their Lives and Times is a wonderful first step in celebrating Alabama women’s experiences and their impact on the history of the Yellowhammer State and beyond. Written in a style that easily appeals to the casual reader as well as scholars, this collection does what the editors set out to do. It ‘provides new understandings for historians, to entertain and enlighten readers interested in the history of the state, and finally to provide knowledge about the lives and efforts of women across the state that teachers can bring into their classrooms’ (7).
