Gina M. Martino is assistant professor of history at the University of Akron.
Martino's book offers an exciting example of borderlands history,
drawing together diverse sources and perspectives. . . . A valuable
and interesting story of change over time. . .[That] enriches our
understanding of two centuries of military conflict in early
America." --Canadian Journal of History
Offers new perspectives on how women's participation in warfare was
called upon and then selectively forgotten or commemorated in this
early North American history. . . . This book establishes Martino
as an original and creative scholar of gender and warfare in early
North America." --The New England Quarterly
Martino's slim volume elucidates the complex place of colonial
women along with the changing official attitudes to these women's
actions. . . . Truly an important contribution.--American
Historical Review
Contributes new ways of thinking about early modern women's
contributions in war.--William and Mary Quarterly
This book is a valuable addition to the scholarship of early
America, women and gender studies, and borderland history, as it
more fully illuminates women's active martial activities than
previous studies of this time and place. It is also useful to those
seeking a better understanding of how later histories changed the
historical narrative to support late-18th- and early-19th-century
gendered ideologies.--Choice
