Southern Women

“It’s not just moonlight and magnolias,” said Amanda Heckert, deputy editor for Garden and Gun magazine and author of the new book Southern Women. “There are many ways to be a Southern woman.” 

“We Southern women may not agree on all things, but we certainly have opinions, and that very willingness to hold and share our convictions is a kind of cultural glue… We come together to make the best of the world as it is, while nudging the world to be better than it has been, and we do it hand in hand, arms linked, voices rising.”
