Women have long made significant contributions to Texas history.
Only in recent years, however, has their part in that history begun
to be told. The great strides made in Texas women's studies are
reflected in this important new book of essays about women and
their many roles in the history of our state. In October 1990, the
Texas State Historical Association sponsored a conference, "Women
and Texas History," which brought together some of the leading
scholars in the field of women's studies. This highly successful
conference -- attended by hundreds and awarded recognition for its
excellence by the AASLH -- produced a raft of exciting
presentations which demonstrated the vigorous quality and growth of
women's studies in and about Texas. Women and Texas History
includes thirteen of the best presentations at the conference. This
"milestone" publication, notes Fane Downs in her introduction to
Women and Texas History, represents "the emerging maturity of the
field of Texas women's history; moreover, these essays add
significantly to our knowledge of the complex and diverse history
of Texas." This ground-breaking volume will be of interest to
students, scholars, and general readers, and is well adapted to
classroom use. Publication of this book was made possible in part
by grants from the RGK Foundation of Austin and the Texas Committee
for the Humanities, a state program of the National Endowment for
the Humanities.
