Air Date: January 23, 2024
Dr. Katie Beasley, an independent scholar who recently completed her doctorate at Florida State University, discusses her article, “’I Am Planning to Buy a New Buick Coupe Next Year”: Rural Women and Alabama’s Curb Markets, 1923-1929,” Alabama Review 75, no. 2 (April 2022), for which she won the 2023 A. Elizabeth Taylor Prize from the Southern Association for Women Historians. Her work examines how rural Alabama women converted home demonstration instruction for their own purposes – making money and selling in local curb markets in the 1920s.
