Two world wars and the depression that connected them had unleashed a torrent of expectations and dissatisfactions, not only in global affairs but in American society and Americans' lives. To be a privileged white girl in conservative, segregated Virginia was to be expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities of race and the constraints of gender. For young Drew Gilpin Faust, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial privilege proved intolerable and galvanizing. Urged to become well-adjusted and to fill the role of a poised young lady that her upbringing imposed, she found resistance was the necessary price of survival. During the 1960s, through her love of learning and her active engagement in the civil rights, student, and antiwar movements, Faust forged a path of her own, one that would eventually lead her to become a historian of the very conflicts that were instrumental in shaping the world she grew up in. Culminating in the upheavals of 1968, this memoir captures a time of rapid change and fierce reaction in one young woman's life, tracing the transformations and aftershocks that we continue to grapple with today. 600 10 $a Faust, Drew Gilpin. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements. 650 0 $a Twentieth century. 650 0 $a Race relations. 651 0 $a Virginia. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231003013516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5743746A61B211EE96A426B62DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
