MacInerney, Dorothy McLeod. "Elizabeth Whitfield Croom Bellamy: The Life and Works of a Southern Bell," American Civilization Program, University of Texas at Austin, May 1996.
Elizabeth Whitfield Croom Bellamy (1837-1900) was a southern woman writer during the latter half of the nineteen century. Bellamy’s fiction is significant because it defied the stereotypical postbellum longing for moonlight and magnolias. Her works addressed such subjects as the freedman’s plight, diversification of crops, movement toward industrialization, reconciliation with the north, enhanced opportunities for women, the rise of urban professionalism, and respect for people of all classes, races, and religions. Instead of languishing as a faded southern belle, Bellamy chose to be a southern bell, who called her fellow citizens forth to the new order of the day.
