I am reading a fascinating book about the history of women in Dallas as part of my research on Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry. Women and the Creation of Urban Life, by Elizabeth York Enstam examines Dallas from 1843-1920. It is well written and well researched.

I loved this passage: “Cities, not the frontier, emancipated American women.”
And, “Dallas was a contradiction of custom and tradition.” (pg 180)

I also liked her examination of early club women – whose work was often covered in the women’s pages. It was a power partnership.
