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.

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.
