THIS BOOK is one product of the “Unsettled Pasts: Reconceiving the West through Women’s History” conference, held at the University of Calgary in June 2002. Neither the conference nor the book would have happened without the hard work, support, and enthusiasm of many talented people. We are grateful to all of them. We first thank the diverse group of women—writers, artists, activists, historians, feminists—whose work made the conference possible and ensured its success. We thank the members of the conference organizing committee: Jennifer Bobrovitz, Geertje Boschma, Cristine Bye, Catherine Cavanaugh, Lesley Erickson, Laurel Halladay, Jennifer Hamblin, Sheila Johnston, Nadine Kozak, Margaret McCready, Grit McCreath, Nancy Millar, Patricia Roome, Char Smith, Gayle Thrift, Cora Voyageur, and Anne White. Most of all we thank Sarah Carter, who initiated the conference, provided so much of the energy and inspiration that animated it, and who, with Elizabeth Jameson, co-chaired the conference organizing committee. We also thank Susan Austen, Roland Longpré, Brenda Oslawsky, and Mark White for all their help.

A number of organizations contributed conference funding. For financial support, we thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Calgary Special Projects Grants Committee, the University of Calgary Research Grants Committee, the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation, and the University of Calgary Planning Initiatives Fund: Office of the President and Vice-Presidents. A number of University of Calgary departments, faculties, institutes, and associations also gave financial assistance. We are grateful to the Faculties of Communication and Culture, Graduate Studies, Humanities, Nursing, and Social Science; the Departments of English, History, Political Science, and Religious Studies; the Graduate Students’ Association; Information Resources; Institute for Gender Research; Nursing, Philosophy, and History Group; and the University of Calgary Press. We also thank the following sponsors: Athabasca University; Pat Burke, Remax/Landa; the Calgary Public Library; the Coalition for Western Women’s History; Barb Dacks, Legacy Magazine; Detselig Press; Dr N.A. Earl, DMD; the Famous Five Foundation; Glenbow Museum and Archives; Historical Society of Alberta; Historical Studies in Education; Kris Matthews, The Matthews Group; Scott McCreath, BMO Nesbit Burns; Mount Royal College; University of Oklahoma Press; and University Printing Services. We are grateful to Cheryl Foggo and Detselig Enterprises Ltd. for permission to reprint excerpts from Pourin’ Down Rain. Elizabeth Jameson acknowledges the support of the Imperial Oil-Lincoln McKay Chair in American Studies, which helped support the editing of this volume. Publication of this volume was funded in part by the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation and by Athabasca University. We are grateful for their support.

Thanks, too, to Walter Hildebrandt, of AU Press, who has shepherded this project from the beginning; to Erna Dominey and Brenda Hennig of AU Press; to Brendan Wild for patient and meticulous copy-editing; and to Michael Luski, Alan Brownoff, Peter Midgley and Linda Cameron of the University of Alberta Press.
