Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sakagawea and Pocahontas, and to under-appreciated figures like Native American ativist writer ZitkaÌla-SÌaÌ, also known as Gertrude Bonin, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. This beautiful, meditiative work of history puts girls of all races -- and the landscapes they loved -- at center stage adn reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, this book evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them -- and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for girls of every race and class today" -- $c Back cover. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Women $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HIS036040 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 19th Century $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a History $2 ukslc 650 7 $a History $2 thema 650 7 $a Social & cultural history $2 thema 650 7 $a Gender studies: women & girls $2 thema 650 7 $a United States of America, USA $2 thema 650 7 $a 19th century, c 1800 to c 1899 $2 thema 650 7 $a 20th century, c 1900 to c 1999 $2 thema 650 7 $a History of the Americas $2 thema 650 0 $a Women and the environment $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Outdoor recreation for women $z United States $x History. 650 6 $a Femmes et environnement $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Loisirs de plein air feÌminins $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781324020882 830 0 $a Norton shorts. 941 $a 19 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013316.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240502012620.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044948.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20240323014000.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022258.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010357.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012131.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240111055948.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240109010319.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206013457.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011029.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20231102012150.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231014010132.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231005013426.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010429.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20231005010135.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231004010427.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231003012844.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231003012341.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C59751861B211EE96A426B62DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
