This book presents vivid and compelling biographical essays on the struggles and achievements of multicultural women from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest and California in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taken together, these stories bring to life the complex and contradictory nature of gender, race and culture in the American West. Included in this collection are essays on: an African-American entrepreneur; a northern Paiute activist; an Ursuline nun; a Chinese homesteader; and a Chippewa-Creek basketball player. Highly entertaining, the essays are conceptually sophisticated yet clearly written, and are complemented by historic photographs and illustrations. Combined, these features ensure this exceptional book has great appeal for a broad general audience as well as for serious scholars of women's history and American studies.
Men are usually the heroes of Western stories, but women also played a crucial role in developing the American frontier, and their stories have rarely been told. This anthology of biographical essays on women promises new insight into gender in the 19C American West. The women featured include Asian Americans, African-Americans and Native American women, as well as their white counterparts. The original essays offer observations about gender and sexual violence, the subordinate status of women of color, their perseverance and influence in changing that status, a look at the gendered religious legacy that shaped Western Catholicism, and women in the urban and rural, industrial and agricultural West.
