This collection of essays, written by established and emerging scholars, recovers stories and voices of a diverse group of women, from the seventeenth century through the Civil War era. Placing their subjects in their larger historical contexts, the authors show how experiences of Virginia women varied by race, class, age, and marital status, and also across both space and time.
