Race, Gender, and Empire
Les historiennes et historiens s’interrogent depuis longtemps sur le fait que le droit de vote des femmes fut d’abord gagné dans les territoires de l’Ouest étatsunien, loin des foyers principaux de l’activisme politique des femmes.

Women at the Wheel
In the era of #metoo, when once again seemingly obvious acts of misogyny must be exposed and delegitimated, few of us will be surprised by the stubborn resilience of patriarchy.

But to write those books, we need to draw on emotional as well as intellectual resources, namely, bravery, joy, and love. I use the example of the historian Fawn McKay Brodie to illustrate both the risks and the rewards of taking on big, difficult subjects in…
Going Public with Western Women's History
The author argues that museums offer wonderful opportunites for academic historians to reach a wider public, and to develop new rhetorical and intellectual tools
Twenty Thousand Roads
From Sacagawea's travels with Lewis and Clark to rock groupie Pamela Des Barres's California trips, women have moved across the American West with profound consequences for the people and places they encounter. Virginia Scharff revisits a grand theme of United States history - our restless, relentless westward movement--but sets out in new directions, following women's trails from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. In colorful,…

Feminism, Femininity, and Power
Had you been standing in a supermarket checkout line in the first week of May 1984, leafing through the National Enquirer, you might have come across a story inviting you to Meet the Mama of Women's Lib. The person the Enquirer proposed to introduce was Nellie Tayloe Ross, who was elected governor of Wyoming in 1924, succeeding her husband, who had died in office.
