Cathleen D. Cahill Professor of History

Book Title: Old Spain in Our Southwest

Author: Nina Otero Warren

Selection Statement:

This book tells the story of six women—including the author, New Mexican Hispana Nina Otero Warren—and their fight for the right to vote. The academic histories of the United States written at the time of the Nineteenth Amendment erased the contributions of these women and their communities. Many of them, like Otero Warren, thus wrote those histories themselves. I'm indebted to them and their work.
