Ladies of the Canyons is the true story of remarkable women who left the security and comforts of genteel Victorian society and journeyed to the American Southwest in search of a wider view of themselves and their world.Educated, restless, and inquisitive, Natalie Curtis, Carol Stanley, Alice Klauber, and Mary Cabot Wheelwright were plucky, intrepid women whose lives were transformed in the first decades of the twentieth century by the people and the landscape of the American Southwest. Part of an influential circle of women that included Louisa Wade Wetherill, Alice Corbin Henderson, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Mary Austin, and Willa Cather, these ladies imagined and created a new home territory, a new society, and a new identity for themselves and for the women who would follow them.Their adventures were shared with the likes of Theodore Roosevelt and Robert Henri, Edgar Hewett and Charles Lummis, Chief Tawakwaptiwa of the Hopi, and Hostiin Klah of the Navajo. Their journeys took them to Monument Valley and Rainbow Bridge, into Canyon de Chelly, and across the high mesas of the Hopi, down through the Grand Canyon, and over the red desert of the Four Corners, to the pueblos along the Rio Grande and the villages in the mountains between Santa Fe and Taos.Although their stories converge in the outback of the American Southwest, the saga of Ladies of the Canyons is also the tale of Boston’s Brahmins, the Greenwich Village avant-garde, the birth of American modern art, and Santa Fe’s art and literary colony.Ladies of the Canyons is the story of New Women stepping boldly into the New World of inconspicuous success, ambitious failure, and the personal challenges experienced by women and men during the emergence of the Modern Age.

It is important to note that although I rate this a five-star book, I absolutely agree with reviewers who found it a slog and difficult to get into. I found the early parts dry and somewhat pedantic, but kept going because I live in Santa Fe and was interested in its history and in the history of these early feminists. However, as I read, I became more engrossed in the tales of these fascinating women and their largely unrecognized contribution to the arts through their recognition and appreciation of the Native American way of life. Their interwoven stories gained traction and I found I could not wait to get back to the book to find where they led. By the time I finished, I was profoundly moved and felt spiritually enriched by my immersion the lives of these remarkable women. My love of Santa Fe has deepened as well, and my travels around the Southwest will now be based on this book, and if you live in or are planning a trip to the Southwest you need to read it.. I highly recommend it and am purchasing two more for some Santa Fe friends.
