Zink has amassed an utterly fascinating new archive of literary and extra-literary materials--from virtually undiscussed writers like Elinor Cowan Stone and Cleofas Jaramillo to magazine ads, pamphlets, and even score cards from homemakers' contests--all in the service of showing that American print culture neatly transferred ideologies of domesticity from white women to women of color. The discussions of soap ads and Better Babies campaigns are just riveting (and appalling).--Siobhan Senier, author of Voices of American Indian Assimilation and Resistance: Helen Hunt Jackson, Sarah Winnemucca, and Victoria Howard
