Texas Women/American Women is a project of the Texas Women's History Network, a loose coalition of people interested in Texas women's history in concert with the Center for Texas Studies, the Department of History, and the Institute for Women and Gender at Texas Christian University. The purpose of the symposium is to investigate linkages between Texas women's history and the latest currents in borderlands and southern American history. During the morning and early afternoon, we will hear from three eminent scholars in those fields, discussing the most recent trends in historical writing. Commentators will connect those talks to Texas. During the afternoon, we will form working groups to discuss possible topics for a book of essays on Texas women's history.
