ISBN: 1561482056

Author: Siegrist, Joanne Hess.

Place of Publication: Intercourse, PA

Publisher: Good Books,

Date of Publication: c1996.

Physical Description: 220 p. : ill., map ; 26 cm.

Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 219).

Contents: Chapters: An overview of Lancaster Mennonite women: their many faces, their open lives, their secret selves // Lancaster Mennonite women : the tone of their lives // Mennonites and early photography // "Running Around"// Motherhood and children // Farm life and work // School and studies // Church Life and faith // Family outings // The lure of the west

Summary: Little written material remains from these women who reared large families and made homes for them, who measured their lives by the church's standards. This vibrant collection of photographs, however, tells a remarkable story of "girl crowds," courting couples, multi-generational harvest/gardening work parties, high-spirited quilters, purposeful caregivers. Thoughtful, interpretive text provides both a structural background for what the photos show, as well as stories and specific detail about what the pictures hold.A rare view of women's lives in an unusually robust community -- the Mennonites of Lancaster, Pennsylvania [from Goodreads]

Subjects: Mennonite women - Pennsylvania - Lancaster County; Lancaster County (Pa.) - Church history - 19th century.; Lancaster County (Pa.) - Church history - 20th century.; Lancaster County (Pa.) - Social life and customs.
