About the Series
The Women and the American West series broadens our understanding of women and gender to include the American West from the eighteenth century to the present. The series offers writers a venue in which to analyze relationships and exchange between and among women of diverse ethnic, class, and geographic categories in the American West, as well as to explore transnational and global themes. The series seeks manuscripts and proposals (biographies, autobiographies and memoirs, monographs, and academic trade books) that capture the impact western women have had within and outside the West’s boundaries.
