This book presents vivid biographical essays about women from the intermountain West, the Pacific Northwest, and California during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Included in this collection are essays about an African-American entrepreneur, a northern Paiute activist, an Ursuline nun, an enslaved Chinese settler, and a Chippewa-Cree basketball player. Taken together, these women's stories bring to life the complex and contradictory nature of gender, race, and culture in the history of the American West.
