The storybook history of the American West is a male-dominated
narrative of drifters, dreamers, hucksters, and heroes - a tale
that relegates women, assuming they appear at all, to the distant
background. "Home Lands: How Women Made the West" upends this view
to remember the West as a place of homes and habitations brought
into being by the women who lived there. Virginia Scharff and
Carolyn Brucken consider history's long span as they explore the
ways in which women encountered and transformed three different
archetypal Western landscapes: the Rio Arriba of northern New
Mexico, the Front Range of Colorado, and the Puget Sound
waterscape. This beautiful book, companion volume to the Autry
National Center's pathbreaking exhibit, is a brilliant aggregate of
women's history, the history of the American West, and studies in
material culture. While linking each of these places' people to one
another over hundreds, even thousands, of years, "Home Lands"
vividly reimagines the West as a setting in which home has been
created out of differing notions of dwelling and family and
differing concepts of property, community, and history. It is
co-published by Autry National Center of the American West.
