The time has come, Lillian Smith wrote in 1962, for women to risk the "great and daring creative act" of discovering and articulating their own identity. Three years later, Southern women of a younger generation, fortified by the skills and self-respect earned in the black civil-rights movement, issued the first manifesto of a new feminism. Their words landed with explosive force, setting off cultural reverberations which have shaken the lives of men and women alike. A little more than a decade after that, this issue of Southern Exposure began to take form. Its creation has taken us back into history and deep into the meaning of our own lives. As we set out to understand the situation of Southern women, we found ourselves "in search of our mothers'' gardens." We found ourselves naming an experience we share across the generations. "So many of the stories that I write," Alice Walker discovered, "are my mother''s stories." To speak in our own voices, we had first to give expression to a "promise song" that has been there all along.

Someone with a brilliant mind can learn it, accepting the accounting terms at the very beginning, but others are scared by the terms and find it a difficult subject. This book tries to do just that by introducing the student to the action and purpose of activities before giving the activity terms by name--giving the student a more comfortable learning experience on the way to becoming an educated accountant.

But visitors to the museum come, see and are conquered; and the same captivation is in store for the readers of the present book. -- Foreword.
