"Women homesteaders were much more diverse than the 'classic' image would suggest. A case study of Anglo midwestern, Mexican-American, and Mormon homesteading women in Cochise County, Arizona, reveals commonalities and differences obscured by promotional efforts to caste homesteading as the salvation of white America in the early twentieth century." [Abstract taken from journal]. A portion of the article discusses Pomerene, a small village settled by Mormons in 1909. The article compares the women who settled that area with the Mexican-American women that helped settle Tres Alamos and Euro-American women who helped settle Kansas Settlement.
