Some women created novels, short stories, and dramas delineating or challenging gender roles, while others told stories to cut through male-dominating cowboy narratives.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso covered here are some of the naturalist\/environmentalist writers who redefined women as equal partners to men in the Western landscape. Their collective works speak of a need for respect, reforms, and economic equity within marriage, self-determination, and full citizenship for themselves and their daughters. Written with the 21st century reader in mind, entries are organized chronologically and can be read as standalone accounts or together for a more comprehensive view. Sidebars provide a nuanced look at similarities and differences within Western female writing about environment, race, colonialism, and gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMeredith Eliassen\u003c\/b\u003e, MSLIS, it a special collections librarian and university archivist at San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California, USA.
