In 1990 the Coalition for Western Women's History inaugurated the Joan Jensen-Darlis Miller Prize to recognise outstanding scholarship on gender and the experiences of women in the North American West. This book collects these essays for the first time. Beyond their topical interest, the essays also present the evolving analytical force of a field that has deepened and matured over time.
The Joan Jensen-Darlis Miller Prize recognizes outstanding scholarship on gender and women's history in the West. The winning essays are collected here for the first time in one volume.
