TAHLEQUAH – The Northeastern State University Bookstore will hold a book signing for authors Terri M. Baker and Connie Oliver Henshaw’s latest work “Women Who Pioneered Oklahoma, Stories From the WPA Narratives” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the University Center. From thousands of interviews conducted by the Works Progress Administration in 1936-37 and preserved in the Indian Pioneer Papers of Oklahoma, editors Baker and Henshaw have selected the words of women from a wide range of socioeconomic groups, ethnic backgrounds, and geographical locations to relate the pioneer experience as it was really lived. Baker, a citizen of the Choctaw Nation, is a professor of English at NSU, where she focuses on American Indian literature. Henshaw, who researches women of the 19th century, is an instructor in the Department of Languages and Literature in the College of Liberal Arts at NSU. Baker and Henshaw will conduct an informal presentation on their work at noon during the book signing.
