Each contribution--and there have been many--represents a brick in the wall of new Texas history. From early Native societies to astronauts, \u003ci\u003eWomen in Texas History\u003c\/i\u003e assembles those bricks into a carefully crafted structure as the first book to cover the full scope of Texas women's history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By emphasizing the differences between race and ethnicity, Angela Boswell uses three broad themes to tie together the narrative of women in Texas history. First, the physical and geographic challenges of Texas as a place significantly affected women's lives, from the struggles of isolated frontier farming to the opportunities and problems of increased urbanization. Second, the changing landscape of legal and political power continued to shape women's lives and opportunities, from the ballot box to the courthouse and beyond. Finally, Boswell demonstrates the powerful influence of social and cultural forces on the identity, agency, and everyday life of women in Texas. In challenging male-dominated legal and political systems, Texan women shaped (and were shaped by) class, religion, community organizations, literary and artistic endeavors, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen in Texas History\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to narrate the entire span of Texas women's history and marks a major achievement in telling the full story of the Lone Star State. Historians and general readers alike will find this book an informative and enjoyable read for anyone interested in the history of Texas or the history of women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Boswell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623497078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623497071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019","brand":"Angela Boswell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939320365311,"sku":"9781623497071","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a08f631e-4ef1-405f-a351-c37368c8685b.jpg?v=1681440803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-texas-history-angela-boswell-9781623497071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
