Turning away from the pioneers in covered wagons who populate most studies of western women, Halverson (English, Kobe City College of Foreign Studies) examines three iconoclastic autobiographers who came from, rather than to, the West. Halverson argues that Mary MacLane, Opal Whiteley and Juanita Harrison rewrote frontier myths to make a space for themselves. Halverson uses biography, literary analysis and cultural history to investigate these autobiographies and in the process reformulates the notion of a "western writer."
