Book excerpt: "A study of popular representations of women and the creation of hierarchies of race and gender in the Canadian Prairies in the late 1800s, Capturing Women fits into a growing body of literature on the question of women, race, and imperialism. Sarah Carter argues that images of Native and European women were created and manipulated to establish boundaries between Native peoples and white settlers and to justify repressive measures against the Native population." --
