Pioneer women

The Lives of Women on the Frontier

Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith

from the back cover:

'This 'patchword' of women's words and pitures captures the pioneer experience memorably and elegantly. Just as a quilt is made up of many small pieces, this book is based on a multitude of individual stories and a rich range of source material. The authors stitch the pieces together skillfully and unobtrusively, presenting us with an overall pictures that is both detailed and sweeping in its design. This is a book to enjoy and learn from.'

Pioneer women provides a rare look at frontier life through the eyes of the pioneer women who settled the American west. The hardships they endured journeying west and making homes and communitities on the frontier are vividly described. The hopes, fears and most of all the courage of pioneer women in the face of adversity are revealed through in excerpts from journals, letters and oral histories. The book reflects a wide variety of the experiences of the women. The voices of Native American women are also included telling of experiences with the white settlers.'
