Summary

To discover how women constructed their own mythology of the West, Kolodny examines the evidence of three generations of women's writing about the frontier. She finds that, although the American frontiersman imagined the wilderness as virgin land, an unspoiled Eve to be taken, the pioneer woman at his side dreamed more modestly of a garden to be cultivated.

To discover how women constructed their own mythology of the West, Kolodny examines the evidence of three generations of women's writing about the frontier.

Both intellectual and cultural history, this volume continues Kolodny's study of frontier mythology begun in The Lay of the Land .
