>
> The gun-toting woman holds enormous symbolic significance in American
> culture. For over two centuries, women who pick up guns have interrupted
> the popular association of guns and masculinity, spurring debates about
> women's capabilities for violence as well as their capacity for full
> citizenship. In Her Best Shot, Laura Browder examines the relationship
> between women and guns and the ways in which the figure of the armed woman
> has served as a lightning rod for cultural issues from the American
> Revolution to the present.
