SUMMARY:Pioneer Women and Texas History
DESCRIPTION:When we think of early Texas history\, a lot of names come to m
 ind: Stephen F. Austin\, Juan Seguin\, or Sam Houston. But what about Mary
  Austin Holley\, Emily West\, or Margaret Houston? Women cared just as muc
 h as men about building and shaping their new homeland – and had just as i
 mportant an impact. \nListen to Dr. Adrienne Caughfield at 7:30 p.m. Thurs
 day\, March 24\, a free live event that will also be shared virtually at
   allentx.swagit.com  at the Allen Public Library! \nIn her book\, True Wo
 men and Westward Expansion\, Collin College professor Adrienne Caughfield
  looks at women’s contributions to the creation of Texas as a republic\, a
 s a state\, and as a dramatic example of the 19th-century American ideal o
 f “manifest destiny.” Dr. Caughfield will share stories that are a less we
 ll-known but crucial part of the development of Texas history\, and how th
 ese stories shape not just how Texans\, but Americans\, see themselves tod
 ay.  \nDr. Adrienne Caughfield: teaches United States and Texas history at
  Collin College in Plano\, Texas. Her area of interest is American expansi
 on and exceptionalism. Her doctoral dissertation for Texas Christian Unive
 rsity dealt with women’s perceptions of expansion and “manifest destiny” i
 n Texas prior to the Civil War\; it also introduced Dr. Caughfield to the
  works of Mary Austin Holley. That dissertation was published by Texas A&M
  University Press as True Women and Westward Expansion. \nThe library is l
