Founded in 1970, the Southern Association for Women’s Historians (SAWH) is a key professional organization that has sponsored the participation, involvement, mentoring, and networking of southern women’s historians. This conference seeks to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the SAWH, but also to consider how the writing of southern women’s history has evolved, continuing as a subfield at the cutting edge of US history.  Featuring talks by leading women’s historians Catherine Clinton, Michele Gillespie, Glenda Gilmore, Cherisse Jones-Branch, and Melissa Walker, STRANGE CAREERS explores the writing of southern women’s history over the past half century
