The North Carolina Museum of History and Division of Archives and History staff began planning an exhibit in 1984 to highlight the history of North Carolina women. This exhibit, titled \"The Task That Is Ours,\" would cover the topic for the last 400 years and be the hallmark of the North Carolina Museum of History's new building. Only one previous exhibit promoted the history of one woman, Georgia Thompson Broadwick, a female parachutist in the early 20th-century.

These six sisters (Kate Devereux Edmondston, Frances Devereux Miller, Elizabeth Devereux Jones, Mary Bayard Devereux Clarke, Nora Devereux Cannon, and Sophia Devereux Turner) from Halifax County represent the changing image and expectation of southern women, especially those in the upper class. These women out of necessity and will became more independent and defiant of their traditional roles; for example, Mary Bayard followed her husband into battle.

Abstract:
North Carolinian Mary Bayard Clarke was an avid writer who published several poems and wrote editorial columns for North Carolina newspapers before the American Civil War. After the fall of Fort Fischer, Clarke was in Raleigh when General Sherman and his troops captured and occupied the city. Instead of fleeing, Clarke stayed in Raleigh and wrote many articles regarding the occupation of Raleigh for the New York serial The Old Guard. During the course of her research for the articles, Clarke had to interact much with the Union army and its soldiers. This interaction with enemy troops led to her estrangement with her sister and ostracized Clarke from several social circles.
