The Madison Women by Amanda E Hayes
By uncovering how higher education and gender roles evolved in Appalachia, 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. Many of these colleges were either coeducational or even specifically for women.
“This book stands beside Samantha NeCamp’s in the work it does to rehabilitate the false stereotype of early Appalachia as anti-education, and is a true recovery project, letting us hear lives and voices otherwise silenced” –Kim Donehower, author of Rereading Appalachia: Literacy, Place, and Cultural Resistance
“A mastery of weaving personal and archival research to resurrect a critical time in education in Appalachia. The research . . . lends itself to creating more avenues for study in women’s literacy, learning, and lives in Appalachia.” –Travis A. Rountree, author of Hillsville Remembered: Public Memory, Historical Silence, and Appalachia’s Most Notorious Shoot-Out
