Tennessee women were no exception. In \u003ci\u003eConstructing Citizenship: Tennessee Public Women in the Progressive Era\u003c\/i\u003e, Mary A. Evins and Minoa D. Uffelman present a collection of essays that explore the contributions and civic engagement of women in Tennessee during this transformative period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding upon their first volume, \u003ci\u003eTennessee Women in the Progressive Era\u003c\/i\u003e, the contributors examine a variety of themes, organizationally structured in four parts: education, associations, service, and suffrage. Across seventeen chapters, the collection covers women's roles in higher education, medicine, and public health; the women's relief corps and patriotic outreach in Tennessee; the women's club movement on the road to suffrage; the power of feminist leadership; women of color leading the national fight for African American reparations and benevolence; philanthropy and community care; rural Tennessee women's support of suffrage; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wealth of archival materials, including personal letters, newspaper editorials, and meeting minutes, each contributor foregrounds long-overlooked stories about Tennessee women's public work during the first half of the twentieth century. Covering a period largely missing from the history of Tennessee women, this anthology fills a critical gap in scholarship. Women's history scholars, Tennessee history specialists, and students of US history more broadly will all find it to be a valuable resource both for self-study and the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary A.
