Terms
1) The History of Maria Kittle
2) Ann Eliza Bleecker
3) Captive Narratives
4) Women of the Frontier
5)Female Captivity Narratives
Beginning this assignment I had believed I would focus wholly on Maria Kittle as a woman and her life's story which is detailed by Ann Eliza Bleecker. However, after looking through some library databases and discovering what scholarly publications are present it is evident my paper may need to head in a different direction.
Many of the publications, which were discovered through various search terms, focus on the racial relations between the captors and the captive. With that in mind I believe it is important to not only focus on Kittle as a woman, but Kittle as a white woman. I have always assumed I would look at the femininity of the piece but it had never particularly occurred to me I should look at the racial tension/interaction as well.
