The patchwork design mirrors both the complexity of the chroniclers and the stark lines and angles of the American frontier. --Susan Cummins Miller, from the introduction In this anthology of thirty-four writers who published during the settlement years of the American frontier, Miller assembles nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and occasional writings from women of Anglo, Chinese, Hispanic, and Native American ethnicity. Variously addressing such themes as isolation, drudgery, friendship, mourning, and even mysticism, these writers offer up a different frontier, one that focuses on women's experiences as much as men's. In brief biographical and historical introductions to each writer, Miller shares insights and context as engaging as the selections themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Cummins Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Tech University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Voice in the American West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780896726185","brand":"Texas Tech University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710673883273,"sku":"9780896726185","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bd1e71ad-f96d-4c07-ad99-ec6d0685a48a.jpg?v=1719542202","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-sweet-separate-intimacy-women-writers-of-the-american-frontier-1800-1922-9780896726185","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
