The writings of the American West have long dealt with masculine
ideals. Well into the twentieth century, what little attention was
afforded to women typically reflected prescribed or stereotyped
roles, and the work of women scholars received less attention than
that of men. And yet the early twentieth century saw a host of
pioneering scholars who would not be ignored, erased, or
marginalized. The ten women intellectuals showcased in this volume
were pioneers in the writing of Indian-centered history, ethnology,
and folklore that incorporated the insights, voices, and
perspectives of American Indians. These authors not only produced
significant works that are still useful to modern-day scholars;
they also pioneered research methods and theoretical concepts that
helped lay the foundation for the new scholarship on western
history, American Indian studies, and ethnohistory. Noted scholars
have provided individual biographies describing the struggles and
contributions these foremothers made to the creation of late
twentieth-century scholarship: Annie Heloise Abel, Gertrude Simmons
Bonnin (Zitkala-Sa), Angie Debo, Ella Cara Deloria, Isabel T.
Kelly, Marjorie Ferguson Lambert, Dorothea Cross Leighton, Alice
Marriott, Mari Sandoz, and Ruth Underhill.
