WOMEN'S HISTORY BOOKS
Women and Texas History: Selected Essays,
edited by Fane Downs and Nancy Baker Jones.
With a keynote essay by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese.
Only in recent years has the role of
women in the history of Texas begun to
be told. In 1990 the TSHA sponsored a
conference, "Women and Texas History,"
which brought together some of the lead-
ing scholars in women's studies. Women,
and Texas History: Selected Essays includes
thirteen of the best presentations at the
conference. This "milestone" publication,
notes Fane Downs in her introduction,
represents "the emerging maturity of
Texas women's history; moreover, these
essays add significantly to our knowledge '
of the complex and diverse history of
Texas." This ground-breaking volume is
also well adapted to classroom use.

A Cowman's Wife, by Mary Kidder Rak.
With a new introduction by Sandra L. Myres.
Mary Rak's career as a ranchwoman and
author began in 1919, when she and her
husband bought a 22,ooo-acre spread
north of Douglas, Arizona. In A Cowman's
Wife she details the seasonal round of
ranch chores; the devastating effects of
drought; and the exigencies of marketing
cattle during the Depression. The new
introduction, by the late Sandra L. Myres,
provides an excellent background for
understanding Mary Kidder Rak and her
important work. This reprint is a signifi-
cant addition to the literature of the
Western experience and
the important role of women in that experience.
