Description: Colorado Women is the first full-length chronicle of the lives, roles, and contributions of women in Colorado from prehistory through the modern day. A national leader in women's rights, Colorado was one of the first states to approve suffrage and the first to elect a woman to its legislature. Nevertheless, only a small fraction of the literature on Colorado history is devoted to women and, of those, most focus on well-known individuals.
Review Quotes: "An excellent book with which to begin research on Colorado women of any period... a good beginning in appreciating the important contributions of Colorado women."--Pat Pascoe, former Colorado state senator and author of Helen Ring Robinson: Colorado Senator and Suffragist
