Scholars including Dan Thrapp, whose encyclopedic work on the Apache Wars provided essential reference for subsequent researchers, and later researchers who worked specifically with the Apache oral tradition and community memory, built a more complete picture of individual lives and specific events.

The specific recognition of Lozen as an important historical figure grew through this scholarship, and through the growing interest in Indigenous women’s history that developed in the later twentieth century.

The feminist scholarship of the 1970s and subsequent decades created an intellectual context in which the recovery of women’s contributions to historical events was understood as an important project, and this context supported the recovery of Lozen’s story.

Sherry Robinson’s work on Lozen, including her biography Apache Voices (2000), contributed to the popularization of Lozen’s story among general readers.
