As a principal of the Russian-American Company, Shelikov worked in Alaska, and her business acumen and wide-ranging connections—including the empress of Russia and a swathe of northern leaders—were crucial to the growth of Alaska’s economy, as well as to the welfare of the Native people, in whose life and culture she took a strong interest. The letters, petitions, and personal documents presented here will be indispensable for students of Alaska and nineteenth-century women’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dawn Lea Black","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54299186561316,"sku":"9781602230736","price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/natalia-shelikhova","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
