This book works to complicate and push against common arguments
that the Western from its inception is an anti-feminist genre. By
focusing on representations of women professionals in Westerns, it
shows that women in cinematic and televisual Westerns sometimes do
acquire agency and empowerment in the private and public realms,
despite our culture's tendency to gender the former as feminine and
the latter as solely masculine. The study reviews the relationship
of these progressive Westerns to both explicit and latent feminist
ideologies relevant to their times, as the films evolved from the
1930s to the twenty-first century.
