"Excerpt taken from the 'Foreword'" All persons of the South with a deep interest in historic events in how the past 150 years affected the cultural and educational patterns of young women in the South have long awaited the publication of this definitive work, Daughters of the Dream. This labor of love with a professional interest has been accomplished by two committed historians and researchers, Frances Dew Hamilton and Elizabeth Crabtree Wells. Their work is not just a history of Judson College: they traced and documented all of the events, movements, wars, and prevailing and predominant attitudes with their attendant influence on the development of women since 1838. It is the story of how southern history with its glorious successes and its inglorious defeats affected all facets of life for young women who were seeking an education. At that time, education was a privilege almost universally offered only to men. Norman Henry McCrummen |
