Summary

"Louisa Susanna Cheves McCord (1810-1879) was one of the most remarkable intellectual figures in antebellum America. She broke the confines of Southern gender roles through her outspoken conservative writings on subjects such as political economy, abolitionism, and the role of women in Southern society ... Lounsbury has compiled some of her best-known and most significant pieces from his editions of Louisa S. McCord: Political and Social Essays and Louis S. McCord: Poems, Drama, Biography, Letters."--Back cover
