In this study of late nineteeth-century moral reform, Peggy Pascoe
examines four specific cases--a home for Chinese prostitutes in San
Francisco, California; a home for polygamous Mormon women in Salt
Lake City, Utah; a home for unmarried mothers in Denver, Colorado;
and a program for American Indians on the Omaha Reservation in
Nebraska--to tell the story of the women who established missionary
rescue homes for women in the American West. Focusing on two sets
of relationships--those between women reformers and their male
opponents, and those between women reformers and the various groups
of women they sought to shelter--Pascoe traces the gender relations
that framed the reformers' search for female moral authority,
analyzes the interaction between women reformers and the women who
entered the rescue homes, and raises provocative questions about
historians' understanding of the dynamics of social feminism,
social control, and intercultural relations.
