Women's XS to 2XL

The early years of the 20th century witnessed many avant-garde innovations, as people freed themselves from the constraints of the late 19th- century Victorian society. Both fashions and the arts were tremendously affected by new interpretations of classical styles and outright revolts against tradition. Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) was an influential figure in the 1910s and today is regarded as the founder of modern dance. She revolutionized dance with her free-form interpretive movements, encouraged arts education for children, and scandalized audiences by wearing non-restrictive, flowing robes that she adapted from Classical Greek vase paintings. 

Our Greek Island Dress sewing pattern pays homage to this unforgettable woman. The Dress is a loose-fitting sheath with back zipper and narrow shoulder straps; the front and the back yoke can be plain or embellished as desired. The Jacket has a center back godet that adds flare without adding fullness, single button-and-loop closure at the front, and a dramatic collar that extends over the sleeves like a filmy canopy. Optional braid or trim can suggest Classical Greece, French Country, or any other era. The Tunic is a breeze to sew, with front and back sailor collar and floating sleeve panels that can hang freely or be attached along the top of the arm. Braid trim, ball fringe, or other optional embellishment make this ensemble a fashion for any creative visionary.  

Suggested fabrics: For the Dress, choose silk or polyester crepe de chine or charmeuse. For the Tunic and Jacket, choose soft, filmy fabrics such as chiffon, georgette, gauze, voile, or novelty cut velvet.

Remarkable analysis of slaveholding women in Antebellum America
Format: Paperback
Stephanie Jones-Rogers has provided us with a book that looks at the South's "peculiar institution" through a very different lens - the slaveholders/slaveowners, but this analysis looks at women that owned slaves, thus opening up a new avenue of study that I hadn't previously seen. Jones-Rogers offers a well written account that is rich in historical details. She demonstrates through vivid historical evidence that the women that owned enslaved people were primarily driven by economic motives, and that these women were just as demanding and could be just as harsh as the "typical" slaveowner image that has been crafted over the years. The book is organized thematically, and each chapter demonstrates the economic motivation behind slave ownership. The reader is offered views of everything from young children becoming slave owners when their parents "gifted" them an enslaved person, and how these young girls were taught that this was "property" that could be used as desired to how these female slaveholders would sell their slaves to meet their economic goals. All told, this is a fascinating book that uncovers a long ignored slice of Antebellum American history that makes the historiographical literature of pre-Civil War history much richer.

Poignant, truthful look at women as powerful, business-savvy, yet brutal slave owners
Format: Paperback
Women slave owners were the norm in the South, not the exception. They increased in numbers, stature, and power while the men were off fighting the Civil War. Women often owned the slaves, not the men and knew how to sign prenuptial agreements back then to insure they kept all their property (including slaves) upon divorce or death of their spouse. They traded and bought and sold slaves with business savvy that most men envied. And they could be just as brutal towards their slaves. Ironically, it was the ownership of other people that empowered these women to not be bound to their husbands.

Good history, but not fun, engaging in popular literature.
Format: Paperback
The author is a very competent historian, and proves her points. She does so by stating each thesis and then reciting an exceedingly long string of supporting examples. Rinse and repeat. This is high quality, academic style history, but it’s not very engaging as popular literature. No one’s going to say “I couldn’t put it down.” That being said - I liked it! I learned a lot. Thanks.

Should be required
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book should be required reading in high school/college history classes. It’s so important to learn accurate history when it comes to slavery and this book does that. White women played a larger role than we are taught. Please give this a read!

No regets
Format: Paperback
This was a good book to read! In school you only learn the male prospective during slavery! I know feel I can say white woman played a major role during slavery times. I like that fact that the Author put in the information to where we can go srwcah and read for ourselves. The visuals where an added touch. I feel like because alot of women of that time couldn't write so alot of information was missing. I feel like this is a must read.
