Gender, Higher Education, and Literacy in Nineteenth-Century Appalachia

Erstverkaufstag: 01.09.2024

Langbeschreibung
By uncovering how higher education and gender roles evolved in Appalachia over time, The Madison Women delivers a history that contradicts the stereotype of the region as hostile to education, highlighting colleges that proliferated the area in the 19th century. Indeed, many of these colleges were either coeducational or even specifically for women, ultimately contradicting another stereotype--that Appalachia is a region particularly hostile toward women.
Amanda E. Hayes teaches English and composition at Kent State University-Tuscarawas. Raised on her family's farm in Appalachian Ohio, she now researches and writes about regional traditions of writing, storytelling, and education. Her first book, The Politics of Appalachian Rhetoric, won the Nancy Dasher Award in 2019.
