Major publications

* "Relations of Rescue: The Search for Female Moral Authority in the American West, 1874-1939". New York: Oxford University Press, 1990.Themes explored include
# The romanticized theme of “white women civilizers of the West."
# The ethnocentric and class-based idealization of Anglo-Protestant “civilization.”
# Although the West offered opportunities for Victorian missionaries to exercise their moral authority and attain some political power and social influence, it also reinforced one facet of “womanhood” and entrenched women within this model. Ultimately, this rigid definition of the “true woman” limited society’s tolerance of the types of careers and activities women could engage.
