They are beautifully diverse in race, religion, and sexual orientation, yet they are bonded through the shared experiences and approaches to life that identify them as distinctly Western. Like individual squares of a quilt, women's interactions with the culture, landscape, and geography of the West, as well as with their families and one another, offer us a unified variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction, twenty-five writers and poets present a broad understanding of the Western woman, sometimes defying and sometimes reinforcing expectations and stereotypes. Perspectives vary from daughters grieving the loss of fathers whose rugged ways resonated with them to mothers striving to share an adoration for the delicacy of nature with their sons. For every woman seeking to conquer the wilderness, another yearns to be tamed by it. These are the stories of natives and Natives, of immigrants from around the world, spanning from eastern states of America to Vietnam in the East. From historical figures toting guns and whips to those who must overcome today's manifestations of violence against women, these ladies, and so many more, are the Women of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManifest West\u003c\/b\u003e is Western Press Books' literary anthology series.
