""An Alabama Woman"" is a novel written by Annabel Barker White and originally published in 1900. The story is set in the American South during the late 1800s and follows the life of protagonist, Mary Ware, as she navigates the societal expectations and restrictions placed upon women of her time. Mary is a strong-willed and independent woman who defies convention by pursuing a career as a journalist and fighting for women's rights. Along the way, she faces challenges and obstacles, including a difficult love triangle and the disapproval of her traditional Southern family. Through Mary's journey, the novel explores themes of gender roles, social class, and the changing landscape of the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. ""An Alabama Woman"" is a compelling and thought-provoking read that offers insight into the struggles and triumphs of women during a pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

The war was over. To Mrs. Willard it seemed like a kideous dream. Her husband, a brave Confederate officer, slept in a far-away Virginia grave. Her eldest son of eighteen lay in an unknown trench with hundreds of others. There were left to her Cora, her only daughter, twelve, and Tresham, a boy of ten. Her three hundred slaves were freed; her broad acres were untilled; she had left only poverty, loneliness and widowhood. Mrs. Willard took counsel with her manager, Mr. Mason, who advised her to hire her freed slaves and plant a prodigious crop of cotton. This staple, he argued, was rising in price every day, and in a few years die would be almost as wealthy as before. Mrs. Willard herself believed it. I have never depended on myself, Mr. Mason, and you have faithfully served my family many years. I have perfect confidence in your judgment, and Im sure all will come out well. Cora and Tresham must be educated, and the war has left me cruelly embarrassed. If you see any way by which we can gain a small competency, I leave the management of all my affairs in your hands. So Mt. Mason followed the policy of his shortsighted compeers.
