How do gender and race become objects of intellectual inquiry and evaluation? Alice Gambrell examines the careers of a group of women intellectuals - painter and writer Leonora Carrington, anthropologist-novelists Ella Deloria and Zora Neale Hurston, poet H. D., and painter and activist Frida Kahlo - whose scholarly rediscovery coincided with the rise of feminist and minority discourse studies in the academy.
