Her involvement in the present project builds on her interests in alternative forms of expression to mainstream art, the marginalization of crafts in Western art history, and feminist critiques of the male gaze.

In 1831, the Menominee Indian Tribe and the United States signed a treaty resolving various disputes involving land in the state of Wisconsin that was traditionally used and occupied by the Menominee Indians.
In 1836, the Tribe and the United States entered into another treaty, in which the Tribe ceded additional lands west of the Fox River.

It was here, on February 23, 1836, that the tiny garrison was surprised by Santa Anna's forward elements, and immediately beat a hasty retreat into the dubious protection of the Alamo, located across east of the town and across the San Antonio River.
Having grown impatient with the progress of the siege, Santa Anna decided to assault the mission on the morning of March 6, 1836, the 13th day of the siege.
David Crockett and the rest of the defenders of the Alamo stayed and fought to the bitter end, and by dying, helped give life to a new republic.

The other recent general monograph on the subject of Tissot, Russell Ash's James Tissot (Abrams, 1992), has beautiful plates but is not as strong a book, with very short entries on the paintings and a cursory bibliography.
On a more sophisticated level, Seductive Surfaces is an anthology of essays written by scholars in the fields of art history, literature, and costume history.
Applying Marxist and feminist methodology, these interdisciplinary essays examine a range of topics, including the influence of popular print sources such as the fashion plate in Tissot's paintings and his portrayal of women as "commodified status symbols" depicted through an elegant veneer.
