Description: "This family history centered around three women from three generations spans the Civil War through the Jazz Age.

Bingham beautifully demonstrates an inheritance of emotion, morality, ideology, and most lasting of all, irreverence.

Bingham was a director of the National Book Critics Circle, and founded the Kentucky Foundation for Women and the Sallie Bingham Archive for Women's Papers and Culture at Duke University"--
