Description

Join this free, virtual event to discuss New Women in the Old West by Winifred Gallagher. In New Women in the Old West, the riveting history of the little-known women played monumental roles in one of America's most transformative periods is brought to life. A myriad of stories are told of the White, Black, and Asian settlers, and the Native Americans and Hispanics they displaced. Like western history in general, the record of women's crucial place at the intersection of settlement and suffrage has long been overlooked. Drawing on an extraordinary collection of research, Gallagher weaves together the striking legacy of the persistent individuals who not only created homes on weather-wracked prairies and built communities in muddy mining camps, but also played a vital, unrecognized role in the women's rights movement and forever redefined the "American woman."
