Book Synopsis
Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto trains and considers the consequences of their presence. White men and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space that freed women from the home yet preserved the railroad as a masculine domain.

Trade Review
