Mary Jo Ignoffo teaches in the history department of De Anza College in Cupertino, California. She is the author of five other books about California history.
"Captive of the Labyrinth is an impressive achievement. Ignoffo
mined an extensive array of bibliographic and other source material
to construct the portrait of a woman who was a product of her time
and who strained against its boundaries."--Western Historical
Quarterly
"Captive of the Labyrinth is an excellent read. Ignoffo finally
sets the record straight on one of the most fascinating and
misunderstood women in California history. A real
page-turner!"--Gary F. Kurutz, California State Library Director of
Special Collections
"Captive of the Labyrinth is an impressive and important study of a
historical figure who has not been forgotten as much as she has
been reimagined by various people for multiple, and usually
profitable, ends."--Southern California Quarterly
"Like the gleaming metal on a rifle's trigger, Ignoffo's argument
shines as she demystifies one of the most prominent aspects of the
Winchester mythology--the one revolving around the Winchester
repeater, guilt, and the macabre."--Michelle Stonis, Southern
California Quarterly
