13. This is not to say, of course, that the women all stayed home while men did the work of "taming the west"-in reality, women have played a major role in the work of settler colonialism, both in and outside the home. The point is that the discursive representation of the work that transforms a place from wilderness into civilization focuses on labor traditionally performed by men.
