Seeling, Caleb, editorWestern Press Books, publisher2017-09-252017-09-252017https://hdl.handle.net/10217/184089A literary anthology 2017The editorial term of Manifest West is proud to offer a diversity of voices in this volume that celebrates Western women as an inclusive category, not a stark label. Both female and male authors and poets share their observations and interpretations. We explore the experiences of Hispanic, First Nations, and even Thai women of the West. Their narratives include mothers, daughters, straight women, gay women, and women whose stories refuse to be defined by romance and family, instead spotlighting their passions as hobbyists, workers, and humans.Introduction -- Inheritance.
