520    Roman Catholic sisters first traveled to the American West
       as providers of social services, education, and medical 
       assistance. In Across God's Frontiers, Anne M. Butler 
       traces the ways in which sisters challenged and 
       reconfigured contemporary ideas about women, work, 
       religion, and the West; moreover, she demonstrates how 
       religious life became a vehicle for increasing women's 
       agency and power. Moving to the West introduced 
       significant changes for these women, including public 
       employment and unconventional monastic lives. As nuns and 
       sisters adjusted to new circumstances and immersed 
       themselves in rugged environments, the West shaped them; 
       and through their labors and charities, they in turn 
       shaped the West. These female religious pioneers built 
       institutions, brokered relationships between indigenous 
       peoples and encroaching settlers, and undertook varied 
       occupations, often without organized funding or direct 
       support from the church hierarchy. A comprehensive history
       of Roman Catholic nuns and sisters in the American West, 
       Across God's Frontiers reveals these women as dynamic and 
       creative architects of civic and religious institutions in
       western communities.
