Synopsis
The northern education of two southern women in postbellum America; When sisters Mary and Louisa Poppenheim, daughters of a prominent Charleston, South Carolina, mercantile family, left their childhood home in the 1880s to attend Vassar College in New York, they entered a world that challenged their beliefs about women and society. First Mary and then Louisa pursued degrees at one of the most rigorous and progressive women's colleges in the country. In a stream of letters home, the sisters chronicled the opportunities and ideals they encountered. Their mother, alarmed by such influences, replied with gentle yet firm counsel on the proper responses of a southern lady. Intimate and searching, these letters reveal the struggle of two young women to resolve conventional southern expectations of women's roles with their interest in women's activism. Their letters also illuminate the tension between progress and tradition that characterized the New South. Particularly interesting because both mother and daughters go far beyond a recitation of their daily routines and health, the correspondence includes thoughtful discussions of society and manners, family and friendship, literature and, The northern education of two southern women in postbellum America; When sisters Mary and Louisa Poppenheim, daughters of a prominent Charleston, South Carolina, mercantile family, left their childhood home in the 1880s to attend Vassar College in New York, they entered a world that challenged their beliefs about women and society. First Mary and then Louisa pursued degrees at one of the most rigorous and progressive women's colleges in the country. In a stream of letters home, the sisters chronicled the opportunities and ideals they encountered. Their mother, alarmed by such influences, replied with gentle yet firm counsel on the ""proper"" responses of a southern lady. Intimate and searching, these letters reveal the struggle of two young women to resolve conventional southern expectations of women's roles with their interest in women's activism. Their letters also illuminate the tension between progress and tradition that characterized the New South. Particularly interesting because both mother and daughters go far beyond a recitation of their daily routines and health, the correspondence includes thoughtful discussions of society and manners, family and friendship, literature and learning, and a lady's code of conduct. Mary and Louisa describe in elaborate detail every aspect of their collegiate experiences, furnishing an intimate view of the experiences of female college students at the turn of the century and of the power of education on the lives of young women. Joan Marie Johnson sets the letters in context with a historical introduction and provides full-text transcriptions of more than 190 letters. Noting that their northern education did not diminish the sisters' keen sense of place, Johnson tells how their post-graduation activities, including the founding of a regional women's magazine and holding leadership positions in national women's organizations, illustrate the hybrid character of southern loyalty and progressive activism., When sisters Mary and Louisa Poppenheim, daughters of a prominent South Carolina mercantile family, left their home in the 1880s to attend Vassar College in New York, they entered a world that challenged their beliefs about women and society. This text collects their letters home.
