Thirteen essays explore the working lives of a wide range of women -- nuns and prostitutes, iron workers and basket weavers, teachers and domestic servants -- in urban and rural settings across the antebellum South. By highlighting contrasts between paid and unpaid, officially acknowledged and \"invisible\" work within the context of cultural attitudes regarding women's proper place in society, the book sheds new light on the ambiguities that marked relations between race, class, and gender in the modernizing South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors are E.
