Stuntzs 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, is the published version of her doctoral dissertation entitled ''His, Hers, and Theirs: Domestic Relations and Marital Property Law in Texas to 1850.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mareleigh.bravejournal.com/index.php|title=John Roberts Research blog|publisher=mareleigh.bravejournal.com|accessdate=November 13, 2010}}</ref> 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 greater "legal rights than their [[Great Britain|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 upon, they could seek legal redress.<ref name=cproperty>{{cite book|url=http://ttupress.org/_product_88/Hers_His_and_Theirs_(paper)|title=Hers, His, and Theirs: Community Property Laws in Spain and Early Texas|publisher=[[Lubbock]], Texas: [[Texas Tech University]] Press|date= 2005|accessdate=November 13, 2010}}</ref> The book hence examines how the Castilian legal system developed differently from other [[Europe]]an models and survived in Texas beyond the 1830s, when Anglo settlers began moving in large numbers into the region.<ref name=cproperty/>​<ref name=linkedin/>
