Instead of talking about women's rights, these frontier women grabbed the opportunity to become landowners by homesteading in the still wild west of the early 1900s. Here they tell their stories in their own words-through letters and articles of the time-of adventure, independence, foolhardiness, failure, and freedom. Book jacket.

Staking Claim analyzes Hawai'i at the crossroads of competing claims for identity, belonging, and political status. Judy Rohrer argues that the dual settler colonial processes of racializing native Hawaiians (erasing their indigeneity), and indigenizing non-Hawaiians, enable the staking of non-Hawaiian claims to Hawai'i.

Describing her as a character Horatio Alger might have created, Mayer, who wrote Klondike Women, and DeArmond, a historian and journalist in Sitka, describe how Irish-born Mulrooney (1872-1967) migrated to the US and became a trader, then pioneered in the wilds of the Yukon basin, founded town and businesses, built two fortunes, supported her family, and was an ally to other working women.

Land is often known by the names of past owners. "Emma's Land", "Gina's quarter", and "the Ingeborg Land" are reminders of the many women who homesteaded across North Dakota in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Land in Her Own Name records these homesteaders' experiences as revealed in interviews with surviving homesteaders and their families and friends, land records, letters, and diaries. These women's fascinating accounts tell of locating a claim, erecting a shelter, and living on the prairie. Their ethnic backgrounds include Yankee, Scandinavian, German, and German-Russian, as well as African-American, Jewish, and Lebanese. Some were barely twenty-one, while others had reached their sixties. A few lived on their land for life and "never borrowed a cent against it"; others sold or rented the land to start a small business or to provide money for education.

NYPD sniper Matt Donovan is in Hell. Instead of driving his best friend’s little sister home, he’s been convinced to offer her roommate a lift: a fresh-faced ray-of-sunshine with a body that makes grown men weep. There's no way he'll allow himself to be tempted by the little vixen, no matter how hard she tries to tempt him, so he resigns himself to the longest—and hardest—drive of his life. Lucy Mason had no idea her brother's best friend was so deliciously hot. Knowing he'd never have his wicked way with his buddy's sister, she pretends to be her roommate. All the better to seduce him. But Matt's no fumbling college boy. His desires run deep—and dark—and he wants to teach Lucy what wicked really means. Matt's demanding appetites only make Lucy want more. But when her cover's blown, he's furious—even as his hunger for her becomes insatiable. Matt can't trust anyone, least of all himself. And he knows all too well that darkness always destroys the light... Each book in the Line of Duty series is STANDALONE: * Protecting What's His * Officer Off Limits * Asking for Trouble * Staking His Claim * Protecting What's Theirs
