Unexceptional Women: Female Proprietors in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Albany, New York, 1830?1885 by Susan Ingalls Lewis challenges our conceptions about mid-nineteenth-century American women, business, and labor, offering a detailed study of female proprietors in one industrializing American city. Analyzing the careers of more than two thousand women who owned or operated businesses between 1830 and 1885, Lewis argues that business provided a ...
Victorians and the Virgin Mary: Religion and Gender In England 1830-1885 (Gender in History)
Carol Engelhardt Herringer
Manchester University Press
, 2008
This interdisciplinary study of competing representations of the Virgin Mary examines how anxieties about religious and gender identities intersected to create public controversies that, while ostensibly about theology and liturgy, were also attempts to define the role and nature of women. Drawing on a variety of sources, this book seeks to revise our understanding of the Victorian religious landscape, both retrieving Catholics from the cultural ...

I'm not surprised...
I'm not surprised that A Fate Worse Than Death by Gregory and Susan Michno has fallen between the cracks in terms of being publicized.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but admiration for native Americans. I have studied Custer and the LBH Battle most of my adult ...
