Men are usually the heroes of Western stories, but women also
played a crucial role in developing the American frontier, and
their stories have rarely been told.
This anthology of biographical essays on women promises new insight
into gender in the 19C American West. The women featured include
Asian Americans, African-Americans and Native American women, as
well as their white counterparts. The original essays offer
observations about gender and sexual violence, the subordinate
status of women of color, their perseverance and influence in
changing that status, a look at the gendered religious legacy that
shaped Western Catholicism, and women in the urban and rural,
industrial and agricultural West.
