VIRGINIA WOMEN
Anne Firor Scott notes in her introduction to A Share of Honour: Virginia Women 1600- 1945, "not only do women experience life differently from the way men do, they also shape it differently." The following books look at the way women have shaped the history of Virginia — as wives, mothers, political figures, spies, musicians, writers, etc. This list was created in conjunction with a display on the Women of Virginia Historic Trail, and features works by and about the 30 women who are part of that project. For information about the Women of Virginia Historic Trail or about other Virginia women, please ask at the reference desk.
