In this pathbreaking anthology, coeditors Elizabeth Jameson and Susan Armitage-who brought us \""\""The Women's West in 1987\""\""-meet that challenge by bringing together twenty-nine essays that 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 [url] mythic sagas of the American West, the wide western range offered boundless opportunity to a limited cast of white men. Buffalo roamed, deer and antelope played, and women's voices were never heard. Writing the Range allows us to hear many long-silenced women: Spanis.
