This important work begins the task of reconstructing the history of New Mexico women from colonial times to the modern era. Although women have always contributed to the social, cultural, economic, and political spheres of the state, no historical account of these activities existed prior to this anthology. In each essay, the historical record is carefully examined to reveal the contributions of women from all of New Mexico's cultural groups. As the first book to reveal the rich and varied history of women in New Mexico, this work brings new scholarship to old sources, including archives, court transcripts, military records, U. S. government correspondence, personal diaries and letters, and oral narratives. The result is an anthology that is as interesting and rewarding to read as it is an important first step in revising and correcting the historical record
