A gorgeous illustrated meditation on the homes of iconic Southern women, from Nina Simone to Carson McCullersIn These Long Shadows, 14 personal, working, and domestic spaces of distinguished women are the framework for this exploration of public history in the American South. The entries are arranged chronologically and comprise artists Elisabet Ney and Clementine Hunter; musician Nina Simone; authors Flannery O’Connor, Eudora Welty, and Margaret Mitchell; poet Anne Spencer; activists Pauli Murray and Ida B. Wells; architect Amaza Lee Meredith; Girl Scouts founder Juliet Gordon Low; socialites Julia Nutt and Emily Inman; and plantation owner Adelicia Acklen.Covering a period of 186 years, the book's chapters include original photography, first-person research, and archival material to illuminate these women’s legacies. It examines what we experience when we visit house museums and provokes questions about authority, the archive, and how the past is written about today. Though women are underrepresented in the historical narrative, there are women behind every preservation movement, and white women, specifically, had a great hand in spinning some of the mythology integral to the United States.Monica Nelson is the author of Edible Flowers: How, Why, and When We Eat Flowers (Monacelli, 2021), These Long Shadows: Women’s House Museums in the American South (Atelier Èditions, 2026), Antiques Today (Princeton Architectural Press, 2027), and is the founding photo and design director of Wilder Quarterly. She writes about history through material culture, design and nature.

This Handbook is the first to bring together scholars working in the quickly evolving field of menstruation in sport research. After decades of silencing, stigma and taboo, menstruation in sport is finally garnering the attention of sports organizations, media and the public alike. Yet many longstanding and new challenges continue to face menstruators as they participate in sport and physical activity environments. Focusing on health, wellbeing and performance, this foundational volume brings together researchers from different disciplines and contexts to advance new theoretical, methodological and practical insights into the historical, social, cultural, economic, mediated, technological, physiological and endocrinological complexities of menstruation in sport. With contributions from those living and working in a range of geographical contexts (Africa, Australia, China, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United States of America and the United Kingdom), the Handbook explores the importance of cultural contexts in shaping knowledge, practices and policies relating to menstruation in sport and physical activity. The extensive transdisciplinary and international breadth of topics provides not only a cohesive summary of the current literature of menstruation in sport but critical perspectives on current debates, oversights, and next steps in the study, policy and practice of menstruation in sport. In so doing, the Handbook makes a timely and critical intervention for scholars, students, sports organisations and practitioners working to remove gendered barriers and obstacles in sport and physical activity.
