Using original archival analysis, Westerns: A Women’s History provides a revisionist account of the western genre, proving women writers of popular westerns were instrumental in the formation of the genre and used it to subtly critique patriarchy.

Reconstructing B. M. Bower’s daily life as it is documented in her diaries, letters, and family papers, this biography claims Bertha Muzzy Bower as a progenitor: a writer and western maverick whose daily life proved as dramatic as her fiction.

At every turn in the development of what we now know as the western, women writers have been instrumental in its formation, yet the myth that the western is male-authored persists. Westerns: A Women's Historydebunks this myth once and for all by recovering women writers of popular westerns active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
