Intimate Frontiers: Sex, Gender, and Culture in Old California (Histories of the American Frontier)
"A must-read for scholars of women and gender in the West and for Borderlanders. Albert L. Hurtado's "Intimate Frontiers" is a fast-paced yet dense study, filled with interesting anecdotes, memorable characters, and fascinating gender analysis. Its short length, simultaneously topical and chronological chapters, and interesting use of gender theory make it ideal for classroom use."
