Response Paper: “The lynching of black and white women”, “Is this the Man?-White Girls Participation in Southern Lynchings” and “Southern Horrors”
Feimster writes the female’s perspective of mob violence during the civil war. She further explains that victims of lynching were not necessarily always men who accused of rape. Even different ethnicities or sexualities were executed by mobs in South. Statistically, between 1880 and 1965, over hundred of female were executed and more than thousands of them were assaulted by white mobs in the South. This lynching mainly occurred before 1930. The evidence indicated that women were the minority who experienced lynching during that 1930.
