| Plot Summary of Women of the West |
|---|
"This boook had tons of pictures of women in the American Old West, 11 or 12 stories about Western women (from a great variety of backgrounds/ethnicities), and a chapter on minority women (i.e. Chinese immigrants). The minority women's stories are not written entirely in their own voices because there was not a lot written by minority women in the West."
Ann, Resident Scholar
