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.
