Anne Firor Scott, a scholar who excavated forgotten corners of historical archives to illuminate the misunderstood lives of the women of the American South, an endeavor that helped open the broader discipline of women’s history in the 1970s, died Feb. 5 at her home in Chapel Hill, N.C. She was 97.
Her daughter, Rebecca J. Scott, confirmed the death but did not cite a cause.
Dr. Scott, herself a daughter of the South and a professor for three decades at Duke University, was best known for her work “The Southern Lady: From Pedestal to Politics, 1830-1930.” The book, published in 1970 amid the surge of second-wave feminism, was widely credited with helping spark a new — and overdue, many scholars later said — avenue of academic inquiry.
Anne Firor Scott was an American historian, specializing in the history of women and of the South.
From Anne Firor Scott's death to her birthday is a span of 78 days.

In her research, which also explored such topics as the lives of black women and the importance of women’s associations in American history, Dr. Scott pored over diaries, letters and other primary sources that brought her subjects to life. Her findings revealed women far more complex than the porch-sitting plantation belles of popular imagination.
