Description

While men often dominate Western narratives, women played a major role in developing the American frontier. This anthology by Routledge provides a new perspective on gender in the 19th-century American West through a collection of biographical essays. This book brings to light stories that have rarely been told. It features a diverse range of women, including Asian Americans, African Americans, Native American women, and their white counterparts. By looking at these different experiences, the text offers a broader understanding of the frontier era. The original essays explore several important themes, such as gender and sexual violence, the subordinate status of women of color, and how these women persevered to change their status. Readers will also find a look at gendered religion in the West. This collection is an essential resource for anyone interested in social and urban history or the true history of the American frontier.
