Neither Separate Nor Equal

The collection explores the lives of contemporary Southern women, addressing the historical context of the South as a region marked by racial and gender inequalities. It features case studies highlighting diverse experiences, from rural African American women in the Mississippi Delta to female textile workers in North Carolina. By examining the interplay of race, class, and regional identity, the book emphasizes relationality among women rather than separation. It serves as both a critical analysis of Southern women's experiences and a framework for feminist scholarship.
