Julia Cherry Spruill Prize, Southern Association for Women Historians, 2002.

"A splendid piece of work: rich in detail, soundly reasoned, and provocative in its implications for social historians' debates about identity.

Outstanding scholarship."--Choice "Enriches our understanding of women and gender in urban history through [the] astute analys[is] of women as key public actors and cultural symbols in the emerging city of Tampa."--Urban History
