Beschreibung:
Anne M. Butler (1938-2014) was Trustee Professor Emerita at Utah State University and past editor of the Western Historical Quarterly.
Roman Catholic sisters first travelled to the American West as providers of social services, education, and medical assistance. In Across God's Frontiers, Anne M. Butler traces the ways in which sisters challenged and reconfigured contemporary ideas about women, work, religion, and the West. She also demonstrates how religious life became a vehicle for increasing women's agency and power.
