WELCOME TO THE SAWH

Who We Are

The Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH) supports the study of
women’s and gender history of the American South. The organization welcomes as
members all who are interested in these fields, and we value individuals and
their differences including race, economic status, gender expression and
identity, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, first language,
religion, age, and ability status. The SAWH especially appreciates the work of
public historians, archivists, independent scholars, and those in alt-academic
positions, in addition to those teaching in colleges and universities. Although
most SAWH members study the South, whether from within or beyond the region, the
organization also encourages historians in any field of study who live in the
southern states to find a home and support network within the SAWH.

The SAWH meets annually with the Southern Historical Association (SHA), awards
publication prizes, and sponsors the Southern Conference on Women’s History
every three years. SAWH members receive a thrice-yearly newsletter with
conference announcements, calls for papers, and news about the organization and
its members

History


The SAWH was founded in 1970 in a small room near the boilers in the basement of
Louisville’s Kentucky Hotel during a meeting of the SHA. In those days, when
women historians were a distinct minority among the SHA membership and when
people who studied women’s lives felt marginalized, a group of volunteers formed
the “Caucus of Women Historians” to study the status of women in the profession
and in the SHA and to encourage scholarship on women. By 1974, they had
transformed an informal caucus into a well-organized professional association
which still meets annually.

Today hundreds of people from around the world fill the membership rolls of the
SAWH. The organization has several purposes: to stimulate interest in the study
of southern history and women’s history, to advance the status of women in the
historical profession in the South, to provide a forum for women historians to
discuss issues of professional concern, and to publicize and promote issues of
concern to SAWH members.
