From the Introduction, "This record...is intended to embody the names
and works of all those ladies who have written for publication, and have been
recognized as "writers" in the Southern States...In this
collection will be found record of Southern writers, good, bad, and indifferent.
I have not pretended to pick the chaff from the wheat. I have made a record of
such writers as have written and published sufficient to form a volume, and told
the world who they are, and what they have done, and left it to conclude what it
has a right to expect from them in the future." |
