Summary

Woman's Work in America provides an illuminating exploration of the pivotal roles that women have played in various sectors of American society. Through a compilation of essays, historical accounts, and sociological analyses, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of women's contributions, ranging from domestic labor to professional fields. Its literary style is both scholarly and engaging, weaving personal narratives with broader societal trends, highlighting women's resilience, ingenuity, and the socio-cultural barriers they navigated. Set against the backdrop of shifting gender norms and evolving societal expectations, the work challenges traditional notions of labor and gender roles in the American context. The collection is curated by various authors, each providing unique insights shaped by their individual backgrounds, research interests, and personal experiences. The contributors include historians, sociologists, and feminists who recognize the need to acknowledge the often-overlooked contributions of women throughout American history. Their collective commitment to amplifying women's voices and experiences stems from a desire to address historical omissions and promote gender equity in both academic discourse and public consciousness. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in understanding the intricate tapestry of women's contributions to American society. It serves not only as an academic resource but also as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality, making it a crucial read for anyone invested in feminist studies or social history.

    John Potts Slough, the Union commander at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, lived a life of relentless pursuit for success that entangled him in the turbulent events of mid-nineteenth-century America. As a politician, Slough fought abolitionists in the Ohio legislature and during Kansas Territory's fourth and final constitutional convention. He organized the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry after the Civil War broke out, eventually leading his men against Confederate forces at the pivotal engagement at Glorieta Pass. After the war, as chief justice of the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court, he struggled to reform corrupt courts amid the territory's corrosive Reconstruction politics. 
     
     
     
    Slough was known to possess a volcanic temper and an easily wounded pride. These traits not only undermined a promising career but ultimately led to his death at the hands of an aggrieved political enemy who gunned him down in a Santa Fe saloon. Recounting Slough's timeless story of rise and fall during America's most tumultuous decades, historian Richard L. Miller brings to life this extraordinary figure.

    Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.
