UnrulyWom
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - A new book
on the intriguing subject of "unruly
women" focuses on the women of
three North Carolina countries
before and during the Civil War.
In Unruly Women: The Politics of
Social and Sexual Control in the Old
South, Victoria E. Bynum inves­
tigates women whose typical be­
havior landed them in the courts.
The e women were whi te and Black,
free and slave, rich and poor, married
, and unmarried � and for most of
them, little written documentation
exists other than their court records.
STUDYING discontented and
disorderly women within and out­
side the household setting. Bynum
ays, sheds light on the centrality of
marriage and slavery to the patriar­
chal structure in the antebellum
South.
Bynum focu e on the
countrie =-Granville, Orange, and
Montgomery - in the central Pied­
mont area of North Carolina. These
countrie .displayed an economic,
demographic! and cultural diversity
that mirrored the diversity of the an­
tebell urn South as a whole.
In the book, Bynum examine
three broad categories of women
who behaved in typical fashion.
First, she looks at women who,
strickly speaking, did not misbehave
by challenging the rules or the bases
of power in North Carolina society.
Rather, the e women publicly com­
plained about mi behaving husbands
or other male household members
whom they accused of abusing their
male prerogatives of power by ex­
hibiting physical and mental cruelty
toward women.
The econd category of unruly
women includes tho e who defied
the rules of society by engaging in
forbidden social and sexual be­
havior, including engaging in bira­
cial relationships or marriages.
Finally, she looks at a third
category of women who implicitly or
explicitly defied the authority of the
Confederacy during the Civil War.
Some women were Charged with
n
harboring evaders or deserters of the
Confederacy, an act that reflected
their conviction that the Con­
federacy was destroying the South.
She say that her book places un­
ruly women at center stage by show­
ing how they struggled to carve out
a pace for themselves 10 a society
that condemned and marginalized
them.
Unruly Women is available in
paperback ($12.95) and hardcover
($34.95) at bookstores or from the
University of North Carolina Press.
Toll-free orders: 1-800-848-6224.
