- Double-weighted statement
- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”. It includes 293 pages and approx. 105k words. It is based on an extended period of research over several years and uses international archives and regional collections (Wyoming, Montana, California, the Dakotas). These sources were both extensive and varied in nature, including (and not limited to) 19th-century census documents, historical biographies and period newspapers, 21st-century film footage, personal records and theatre scripts. Arcing this was a transdisciplinary argumentative framework that took a traditional biography of ‘Calamity Jane’ and refracted it through the lens of revisionist history and gender theory.
