Ebook: One Step over the Line: Toward a History of Women in the North American Wests

This eclectic and carefully organised range of essays - from women's history and settler societies to colonialism and borderlands studies - is the first collection of comparative and transnational work on women in the Canadian and US West. It explores, expands, and advances the aspects of women's history that cross national borders. Out of the talks presented at the 2002 'Unsettled Pasts: Reconceiving the West through Women's History', Elizabeth Jameson and Sheila McManus have edited a foundational text for pioneering scholars of an emergent, interdisciplinary field.
