Marguerite LeClaire: What we Forget about History When We Forget about Women
Marguerite LeClaire is often sidelined in local histories in favor of her more famous husband, Antoine LeClaire. But Marguerite, who was of French and Meskwaki descent, was at the center of a network that linked fur traders, speculators, and American Indians along the upper Mississippi in the early 19th century. What does focusing on Marguerite tell us not only about the history of the region, but what focusing on women's roles can tell us about history more broadly?
