An ardent early suffragette, Edna Brush Perkins set out in 1920
with her friend, Charlotte Hannahs Jordan, to journey into the
Mojave, both women seeking to escape civilization and their
struggle to secure voting rights for women. The Mojave at that time
was considered to be a desolate, inaccessible region--part of the
fading American frontier. Originally published in 1922, The White
Heart of Mojave is Perkins' account of this journey.
Perkins' evocative writing describes the landscape and the
people she encounters. As editor Peter Wild writes, this is
ultimately the story of two wealthy women who enter Death Valley
"as a sort of middle-aged lark" and "emerge from the trip
profoundly changed."
