The second of two volumes that explore North Carolina women's lives. These essays cover the period beginning with women born in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but who made their greatest contributions to social, political, cultural, legal, and economic life during the late progressive era through the late twentieth century.
By the twentieth century, North Carolina's progressive streak had strengthened, thanks in part to a growing number of women who engaged in and influenced state and national policies and politics. This is the second of two volumes that together explore the diverse and changing patterns of North Carolina women's lives.
