Cheryl J Foote received her doctorate from the University of New Mexico. She teaches at Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute.
""Women of the New Mexican Frontier" provides a unique glimpse into
Anglo-American women's history in New Mexico during the last half
of the 19th century."
"Based on careful research, "Women of the New Mexico Frontier"
brings to our attention the lives and work of obscure but
nevertheless significant women. For the first time, the lives of
Anglo women from the Eastern United States are examined vis--vis
the Americanization of New Mexico Territory."
"Women in historical nonfiction have finally gained a permanent
place in the publishing world. Foote's book reveals the stories of
army wives, teachers and missionaries. She successfully weaves
together these women with a common thread of character. . A
departure from traditional New Mexico history, this is a must
read."
