Abstract

How do you "write women back into history" when no sources exist to do so? How do you define a gender analysis of the presumably most sexed-up city in the United States when you cannot compare the historical experiences of men and women? Those were the questions I faced a number of years ago in Las Vegas as I began to teach women's history.
