TWU Book Series

Pioneering Women: Leaders and Trailblazers

Texas Woman’s interdisciplinary book series works with both established and emerging scholars whose writing explores innovative knowledge, creativity, and discoveries shaped by women and women’s experiences in fields such as the arts, sciences, spirituality, religion, politics, business, education, the military, health sciences, and community service.

A sponsoring institute for Texas A&M Press, books developed as part of the series are passed to Texas A&M Press for peer review.

Mission

Serving as a vital platform for advancing TWU’s commitment to fostering intellectual rigor, amplifying women’s voices, and contributing to scholarly discourse across disciplines, the book series seeks works related to women’s intellectual leadership and matters affecting the lives of women. We define “intellectual leadership” broadly, to include both visionary and practical dimensions as well as the ability to inspire, influence, and guide individuals or groups toward achieving common goals and objectives.

The book series welcomes monographs, edited collections, theoretical analyses, biographies, memoirs, historical and contemporary studies, and illustrated volumes of visual art or photography.

The book series wishes to express its appreciation to the Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership for facilitating the series, and to Nancy P. and Thaddeus E. Paup, whose generosity has made the series possible.
