Reed, Maureen. "Homesickness: Untold Stories of New Mexican Women and Multiculturalism, 1930-1965," American Studies, University of Texas at Austin, May 2001.
This collective biography of writers Mary Austin, Kay Bennett, Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, Cletas Jaramillo, Mabel Dodge Luhan, and Pablita Velarde explores the tensions between what these women wrote about their own lives and what historical research reveals about their actual experiences. It serves as a narrative of this period of cultural history in New Mexico and as an analysis of the differing ways in which Mexico and as an analysis of the differing ways in which ethnic relations and ideals of women’s roles in a multicultural society affected these activists private and public lives. This comparison shows how the Hispanic and Native American women found it difficult to speak out from other than an assumed “traditional” perspective, while the Anglo women’s assumptions about cultural tradition ultimately interfered with their stated hopes for a multicultural society.
