Summary

"In Central to Their Lives, twenty-six noted art historians offer insight into the achievements of female artists working in and inspired by the American South. Spanning the years between the late 1890s and early 1960s, this volume examines the complex challenges these artists faced in a traditionally conservative region during a period in which women's social, cultural, and political roles were being redefined and reinterpreted"--, Provided by publisher
