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

The land before her
If you are interested in a history of the left and, more importantly, the continuity between the old left and the new left this book is for you. this continuity is not often written about when discussing the 60's or the new left in general but it is there. however, and this is what is more useful about this book, the new left was not open to the ideas and methods of the old left which had become somewhat brittle and didactic after weathering the intense storm of mccarthyism and the corrosive effect stalinism. the new left could've benefited from the contributions and historical knowledge of the old left and the ossified orgs of the old left could've benefited from the influx of youth based in the new left. this history is even more important now because i see parallels between the existing far left groups and the old left and between the occupy movement activists and the new left groups that came on the scene in the late 50's and early 60's.
