The article by Mock, "Woman, Nature, and the White Plague: Rebecca Harding Davis's "The Yares of the Black Mountains: A True Story" was an interesting ethnographic addition to your scholarly article and I enjoyed reading the emphatic prose, "withered corpses" and "mat woven of warblers' heads spiked all over its surface with sharp beaks, set upon a bonnet and borne aloft by its possessor in pride."&nbsp;<br><br>You also were able to use the conventions and functions of the exhibit with evident skill.<br><br></span> http://nines.org/forum/object?comment=108 Tricia,<br><br>Thank you for your kind words! &nbsp;I actually had a lot of fun putting the exhibit together, and I definitely plan on adding to the exhibit this summer as I work my way through my independent study on American EcoFeminism. &nbsp;I had never heard of Rebecca Harding Davis, but I want to track down her short essay/story after reading through Mock's article. &nbsp;I'm finding that what draws me to the study of feminism is the willingness and&nbsp;encouragement&nbsp;to look at women's personal lives in addition to their writing, whether published or unpublished, to re-discover and re-imagine our American past.
