She argues that the double identity of these white southern women as both "oppressors" and "victims" forced them to confront their native culture, developing a unique form of racial activism through which they rebelled against their own culture while conforming to southern standards of respectability.Women, WhitePolitical activitySouthern StatesHistory20th centuryWomen civil rights workersSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryWomenSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryWomen political activistsSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsSouthern StatesHistory20th centurySouthern StatesSocial life and customsWomen, WhitePolitical activityHistoryWomen civil rights workersHistoryWomenHistoryWomen political activistsHistoryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistory320.08207509/04Stefani Anne1199636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797246803321Unlikely dissenters3702582UNINA
