Summary

A stirring look at Western history from the perspective of mobile, questing women. By showing how women did not merely domesticate the West, Scharff gives us a new vision: along with men conquering the vast plains we see how women mapped, named, fought over, challenged and changed the frontier.

Author Biography

Virginia Scharff is Professor of History at the University of New Mexico
