Soft Cover. Condition: Near Fine-. 2nd Printing. Men "won" the West. Women, against their better judgment, followed them to this "newly discovered" place and tried to re-create the amemnties of the Urban East. Or so the myth goes. This book challenges this picture as racist, sexist, and romatic and rejects the customary emphasis of traditional western history on the 19th-century frontier, discovered and defined by Anglo men alone. A collection of 21 articles creates a multidimensional portrait of western women and dispells preconceived notions and myth. 323 pages including index. B&W photos. A tiny indent on lower page edges. Lovely copy.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 7th Printing. 323 Pages Indexed. Six line inked gift inscription on first title page otherwise and as new never read book. Challenges the settlers of the West myth as racist, sexist, and romantics and rejects the customary emphasis of traditional western history on the 19th century frontier, as discovered and defined by Anglo men. In its place here begins the construction of a new western history as complex and varied as the people who lived it. This collection of 21 articles creating a multidimensional portrait of western women. The pioneer women presented here were actors in their own lives, not passive participants in their husbands' ventures. They were hardy seekers who came west, sometimes alone, in search of jobs, freedom, or land to homestead. They were political activists who worked tirelessly to win the right to vote and to hold political office. They adapted in practical ways to their own and their families' economic and personal needs in a new evironment. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Susan Armitage is a professor of history at Washington State and Elizabeth Jameson a professor of history at the University of New Mexico.

First Edition
Hardcover first edition - First printing. A ground-breaking and very interesting anthology of twenty-nine essays that (as stated on the dustjacket): 'present women of all races as actors in their own lives and in the history of the American West and locate them in a framework that connects gender, race, and class. In mythic sagas of the American West, the wide western range offered boundless opportunity to a limited cast of white men [but] women's voices were never heard. 'Writing the Range' allows us to hear many long-silenced women: Spanish-Mexican settlers and American Indians on New Spain's northern frontiers; Chinese, Basque, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Slavic, and Irish immigrants; film stars Dolores del Rio and Lupe Velez; Navajos and African Americans who moved to Western cities during World War II; and the activist Mothers of East Los Angeles, who organized to resist environmental dangers to their community.' Among the essays are those on Widows & Land in Colonial New Mexico by Yolanda Leyva; Captivity and Identity in New Mexico 1700-1846 by by James F. Brooks; The Women of Lincoln County 1860-1900 by Darlis Miller; Beyond the Stereotype: Chinese Pioneer Women by Annette White-Parks; Basque Women as Hard Workers by Jeronima Echeverria; Women Cross-dressing in the 19th Century West by Evelyn Schlatter, African American Women Workers in Richmond California and the Impact of World War II by Shirley Ann Wilson Moore; Irish Women in Anaconda, Montana by Laurie Mercer and many more. Photographs. Index and selected bibliographies -including both a general bibliography and others by ethnicity - on African American women, Asian American, etc. 656 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.).
