Chapter 2 A Slow Start for Kentucky’s Children The story of education throughout the South is roughly parallel to that of the rest of the nation but with at least three significant additional influences: 1) the widespread agrarian attitude that education was largely a family matter, and for many, a matter of little necessity; 2) racism, born of slavery and plantation economics; and 3) its offspring, traditionalism, which reinforces paternalism, skeptical attitudes toward government and maintenance of the status quo. So change in the South comes slowly, when it comes. In the earliest days of the Union, a gradual and essentially peaceful abolition took place in the North. Typically, a state would pass a law declaring: all slaves born after a given date would be free when they reach the age of 21 for women, or 24 for men.

Staking Their Claim: The Impact of Kentucky Women in the Political Process BY PENNY M. MILLER* F or the past 200 years, women have faced tremendous obstacles in staking their claim to influence the politics of "traditionalis- tic" Kentucky.' Their intermittent forceful impact has been felt through- out the Commonwealth in their various roles as voters, elected and appointed officeholders, policymakers, party activists, interest group participants, lobbyists, and campaign contributors; but in such activities Kentucky women have lagged behind national trends. "Seventy-five years after suffrage, women are still the missing majority on Kentucky's ballot."2 "Women's issues" have ebbed and flowed, but always in an ultimately conservative direction, in Kentucky.3 In 1881, the Kentucky * Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Political Science, University of Kentucky.
