Opis

This volume presents key published articles on women in the American West. Once a peripheral focus, gender is now central to historical analysis. These essays make this critical focus manifest in the interpretation of the regions of the American West. Beyond regional implications, these authors make gender the centre of inquiry for all of American History.
