About This Item
Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1988. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 354 p. 23 illustrations. "In recent years the study of western history has been transformed by scholarship on the actual experiences of the women who settled the West. The essays gathered here, first presented at a 1984 conference sponsored by the Southwest Institute for Research on Women, analyze and interpret this new body of research." From the James S. Copley Library, with the San Diego newspaper publisher and philanthropist's bookplate to the front pastedown. Octavo. Original gray cloth binding, with blue titles. Internally crisp and clean. Mild bumping to the corners and tips, with light edgewear to the dust jacket. A very good copy.
