From Mama to Mammy, from Scarlett to Blanche, Hell's Belles (often exclaimed in mock piety and defining generations of Southern women) is a hilarious and loving tribute to the famous and infamous females of ol' Dixie. This diverse collection features more than 200 women - aristocratic to poverty stricken, well-bred to ill-mannered, from Virginia to Texas (the heart of the Confederacy) - who have one thing in common: a uniquely Southern take on life and a strength of character molded by their roots

Belles-letters: Literary and fictional 
Belles; Confederate cut-ups and one revolutionary rebel; Shining stars and silver (screen) BELLES; Politicos in Petticoats; Sweet southern songbirds and more.

Ellen professed not to want children with her older husband, and when she takes Pamela into her home and rapidly into her heart, she discovers that this is true: Ellen doesn't want children.

Ellen is no stranger to sorrow, but when she returns to the quiet village life she's long lived, she finds herself asking: In a world changed by war, is it fair to wish for an unchanged heart?

A Biography

Frances Willard (1839-98), national president of the WCTU, headed the first mass organization of American women, and through the work of this group, women were able to move into public life by 1900. Willard inspired this process by her skillful leadership, her broad social vision, and her traditional womanly virtues. Although a political maverick, she won the support of the white middle class because she did not appear to challenge society's accepted ideals.
