Abstract:
Nell Battle Lewis began writing a column for the 'News and Observer' in 1921. Lewis, a supporter of white public motherhood and white supremacy, advocated a agenda of social reform that included the rights of textile workers and women. During World War II, Lewis was unable to balance her political ideology with the changing world. Until her death in 1956, Lewis called for white mothers to protect their families from liberals, civil rights activists, Communists, and the federal government.
