Carved into a rock overlooking the Columbia River stands thearresting image of Tsagaglalal, or |She Who Watches,| anancient female chief. As the Wishram people recount, when men replacedwomen in positions of power, Tsagaglalal was turned to stone by Coyoteso that she could forever guide her community and guard itsdevelopment. Using the story of She Who Watches as her guide, historian SueArmitage shows that even though women were barred from positions ofpublic authority until recently, they have always worked quietly andinformally to assure the stability and security of their families andcommunities. Women's community-building and cooperative skillshave been decisive in developing the societies of the PacificNorthwest--Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Montana, and BritishColumbia. Like She Who Watches, women have never been mere observers,but watchful guardians and active shapers of the public good. Drawing on her three decades of research and teaching and based onhundreds of secondary sources, Armitage's account explores thevaried ways in which, beginning in the earliest times and continuing tothe present, women of all races and ethnicities have made the historyof our region. An accessible introduction for general readers andscholars alike, Shaping the Public Good restores a missingpiece of Pacific Northwest history by demonstrating the part thatwomen--|the famous, the forgotten, and all the women inbetween|--have always played in establishing their familiesand building communities.
