Southern Women Audiobook Summary
From the award-winning Southern lifestyle magazine Garden & Gun comes this rich collection of some of the South’s most notable women.
For too long, the Southern woman has been synonymous with the Southern belle, a “moonlight and magnolias” myth that gets nowhere close to describing the strong, richly diverse women who have thrived because of–and in some cases, despite of–the South. No more. Garden & Gun‘s Southern Women: More than 100 Stories of Trail Blazers, Visionaries, and Icons obliterates that stereotype by sharing the stories of more than 100 of the region’s brilliant women, groundbreakers who have by turns embraced the South’s proud traditions and overcome its equally pervasive barriers and challenges.
Through interviews and essays, these remarkable chefs, musicians, actors, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, and public servants will offer a dynamic portrait of who the Southern woman is now. The voices of bona fide icons such as Sissy Spacek, Leah Chase, and Loretta Lynn join those whose stories for too long have been overlooked or underestimated, from the pioneering Texas rancher Minnie Lou Bradley to the Gee’s Bend, Alabama, quilter Mary Margaret Pettway–all visionaries who have left their indelible mark not just on Southern culture, but on America itself.
By experiencing these stories of triumph, grit, and grace, the ties that bind the sisterhood of Southern women emerge: an unflinching resilience and resourcefulness, an inherent love of the land, a singular style and wit. And while the wisdom shared may be rooted in the Southern experience, the universal themes are sure to resonate beyond the Mason-Dixon.

I was inspired! Me and 3 girlfriends host a quarterly Garden & Gun themed dinner party. After reading this, my Spring themed party will happen just in time for Phase 2 opening in my state - fingers crossed - but with our group of less than 10! All recipes for the meal were culled from women featured in the book. Procured beer and spirits from women entrepreneurs featured in the book and made a playlist for the night from women musicians featured in the book! What a delightful way to celebrate women! I learned much about women and cultures within the southern culture of which I was completely unaware! A super inspiring and educational ready.

It was really wonderful reading about so many amazing women, many whom I hadn't heard about before. Their stories are worth telling, and worth being heard. I encourage everyone to pick this book up, and learn a little bit about the strength of southern women. This book covered women of all ages, races, socioeconomic backgrounds, you name it. It really was all encompassing, and the only negative was that, for several of the stories, I just wanted more. I wanted to know more about them. So I looked them up on my own, and continued my education. It was a light read, which never delved too heavily into one woman in particular. But it was great to see all that these women had achieved.

Even though this is edited by a publication with the incredolous name of Garden and Gun, this is an entertaining coffee table book of 100 Southern Women from authors, performers. trendsetters and icons.
