Description

Catherine S. Fowler is Foundation Professor of Anthropology Emerita at the University of Nevada, Reno, and research associate at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Her recent publications include Isabel T. Kelly's Southern Paiute Ethnographic Field Notes, 1932-1934, co-authored with Darla Garey-Sage.

"Fowler brings a full choir to Dutton's many achievements.... The book is a delightful read, and I recommend it highly, especially to those interested in anthropology, archaeology, history, Girl Scout programs, and women's studies." --Journal of the Iowa Archeological Society "A highly readable account. This work shines a much-needed light on an innovative yet largely forgotten program that helped shape the Girl Scouts' older-girl program for thirty years." --Ann Robertson, chair, Archives and History Committee of the Girl Scout Council "Nicely balanced between scholarly referencing and writing for a more general audience. The volume is a social history of the Girl Scouts Seniors who participated in Dutton's decade-long Southwest projects. It brings out the long-underappreciated research and outreach contributions of a prominent female archaeologist." --Barbara Mills, regents professor, School of Anthropology, University of Arizona
