- alleenstaanden, prostituees, ondernemers, elite, historisch, Verenigde Staten, 1860-1869, 19e eeuw
- Description
- This publication shows how free, single women navigated life in a busy slave-based river-port town before and during the Civil War, and how these women transitioned during Reconstruction, emancipation, and thereafter. It examines how free, single women in one city (including prostitutes, entrepreneurs, and elite plantation ladies) coped with life unencumbered, or unprotected, by husbands. The book pays close attention to the laws affecting southern gender and sociocultural traditions, focusing especially on how the town’s free, single women maneuvered adroitly but guardedly within the legal arena in which they lived.

- Description
- During the last half of the nineteenth century, a number of social and economic factors converged that resulted in the rural village of Deerfield, Massachusetts becoming almost entirely female. This drastic shift in population presents a unique lens through which to study gender roles and social relations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This can provide new insight to the study of gender relations throughout other historical periods as well. .Through an examination of both historical and archaeological evidence, the author presents a clear picture of the gendered social relations in Deerfield over the span of seventy years. While gender relations in urban settings have been studied extensively, this work provides the same level of examination to gender relations in a rural setting. Likewise, where previous studies have often focused only on relations between married men and women, the case of Deerfield provides insight into the experiences of single women, particularly widows and “spinsters”.

- Description
- This book investigates the lives of unmarried white women in the nineteenth century within the society of the American South. These single women were not subject to the laws and customs of coverture and therefore lived with greater autonomy than married women. Molloy contends that the Civil War proved a catalyst for accelerating personal, social, economic and legal changes for these women. Being a single woman during this time often meant living a nuanced life, operating within a tight framework of traditional gender conventions. The author describes these themes and their effects on female life: femininity, family, work, friendship, law and property. The relatively overlooked population of single women in both the urban and plantation slaveholding South is studied by examining letters and diaries of more than three hundred white, native-born, southern women.
