Women are like water to American history。 They have flowed through the terrain to the America, where long before the inhabitants conceived of themselves as a part of expanding United States。 They have been represented as scarce commodities in a region where masculinity and aridity have appeared, quite simply, as natural。 But just as the American could not have developed without water, the region flourished development could not have the women who lived there。
