The previous content of this page or section has been identified as posing a potential copyright issue, as a copy or modification of the text from the source(s) below, and is now listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems(listing):
Unless the copyright status of the text on this page is clarified, the problematic text or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing.
Temporarily, the original posting is still accessible for viewing in the page history.
To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain, or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia. Click "Show" to see how.
Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material. Click "Show" to read where and how.
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is unlawful and against Wikipedia policy.

Stuntz is the middle of 3 children of Homer Clyde Stuntz (born 1923), a retired physician, and the former Billie Jean Williams (born 1929). She was born and reared in Orange in Orange County near Beaumont in southeast Texas.[2]
In 1912, Stuntz's paternal great-grandfather, also named Homer Clyde Stuntz (1858–1924) of New York City, was named as a bishop of the Methodist Church. Homer Clyde Stuntz wrote at least two histories, stimulated by his missionary zeal, The Philippines and the Far East (1904)[3] and South American Neighbors (1916).[4]
Stuntz is best known for her award-winning book Hers, His, and Theirs: Community Property Laws in Spain and Early Texas, with foreword by Caroline Castillo Crimm and preface by Gordon Morris Bakken. The book is an outgrowth from Stuntz's doctoral dissertation entitled His, Hers, and Theirs: Domestic Relations and Marital Property Law in Texas to 1850.[8] According to a reviewer in the Journal of Southern History,Hers, His, and Theirs "fills a major void in the historiography of women in the Spanish borderlands and the American Southwest." In her research, Stuntz found that Hispanic women in the northern portion of the Spanish Empire in North America had "legal rights that would have astonished their British counterparts half a continent to the east. Under Spanish law, even in the sparsely settled land that would one day become Texas, married women could own property in their own names. They could control and manage not only their own property but even that of their husbands. And if their property rights were infringed, they could seek redress in the courts."[9] The book hence examines how the Castilian legal system developed differently from other European models and survived in Texas beyond the 1830s, when Anglo settlers began moving in large numbers into the region.[9]
With Claudia Stuart, Stuntz is the co-author of African Americans in Amarillo.[10]
Stuntz penned the chapter on Minta Holmsley, a pioneer woman from Comanche, Texas,[11] in the award-winning book,[12]Texas Women on the Cattle Trails (2006). Her articles include "Women of the Texas Revolution" (2007) and "Prairies to Progress: Women on the Texas Panhandle Frontier," (2009), both published in the Social Studies Texan. She is the former book review editor of the West Texas Historical AssociationYear Book and has frequently presented papers at annual meetings of the association.[5]
Stuntz was the president of H-Net, an Internet site for scholars and teachers which seeks to promote the study of history and the social sciences, in 2010. She utilizes the Internet in her teaching, taking the view that students "learn best when [the instructor] gets them started and then stays out of their way."[13]
Her latest book, a work of creative non-fiction, is The Alamo and Zombies, available from Yard Dog Press.
In 2013, Stuntz joined the board of the Texas State Historical Association.[14]
Along with professorial colleagues, Stuntz signed a petition requesting that the SBOE delay consideration of the changes so that curriculum experts can intervene. The changes do not require memorization, only inclusion of previously omitted materials. Stuntz, however, predicted that the revisions will cause teachers to stress memorization of events, people, and dates, rather than guiding youngsters to think, analyze evidence, and communicate their thoughts. With memorization, Stuntz said that many students come to college with a dislike of history. Memorization, she said, "beats the imagination out of them. I have to teach them it isn't about memorizing. It's about why people did what they did. It's about analyzing evidence, what is true and what is not."[15]
