From Mama to Mammy, from Scarlett to Blanche, Hell's Belles (often exclaimed in mock piety and defining generations of Southern women) is a hilarious and loving tribute to the famous and infamous females of ol' Dixie. This diverse collection features more than 200 women - aristocratic to poverty stricken, well-bred to ill-mannered, from Virginia to Texas (the heart of the Confederacy) - who have one thing in common: a uniquely Southern take on life and a strength of character molded by their roots.

Sobre el autor (1997)

Searle Ballenger is a native Alabamian (the cradle of the Confederacy) and 100 percent southerner who has been temporarily stranded in a foreign land (California). Homesick and hungry for a good-humored dose of southern-fried fun (not to mention okra), the author cooked up this loving tribute to the women -- the backbone of the South -- who have raised hell, loved well and taken no guff while leaving their indelible, often magnolia-scented or Crisco-laden, but ultimately unforgettable, marks upon the world.
