Each contribution--and there have been many--represents a brick in the wall of new Texas history. From early Native societies to astronauts, Women in Texas History assembles those bricks into a carefully crafted structure as the first book to cover the full scope of Texas women's history. By emphasizing the differences between race and ethnicity, Angela Boswell uses three broad themes to tie together the narrative of women in Texas history. First, the physical and geographic challenges of Texas as a place significantly affected women's lives, from the struggles of isolated frontier farming to the opportunities and problems of increased urbanization. Second, the changing landscape of legal and political power continued to shape women's lives and opportunities, from the ballot box to the courthouse and beyond. Finally, Boswell demonstrates the powerful influence of social and cultural forces on the identity, agency, and everyday life of women in Texas. In challenging male-dominated legal and political systems, Texan women shaped (and were shaped by) class, religion, community organizations, literary and artistic endeavors, and more. Women in Texas History is the first book to narrate the entire span of Texas women's history and marks a major achievement in telling the full story of the Lone Star State. Historians and general readers alike will find this book an informative and enjoyable read for anyone interested in the history of Texas or the history of women. 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 650 0 $a Women $z Texas $x History. 650 0 $a Women $z Southern States $x History. 650 0 $a Women $z Texas $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Gender expression $z Texas. 651 0 $a Texas $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Texas $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a Women pioneers $z Texas. 651 0 $a Texas $x Women. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Women. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Gender expression. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01782862 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women pioneers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178307 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a Texas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210336 650 1 $a Women $z Texas $x Biography. 648 7 $a 1861-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Women in Texas history series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502032246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95742E080F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
