About This Item
BRAND NEW-Beautifully embossed brown leather with pictorial pastedown! Revised second printing 1979-"Text and illustrations present a portrait of the industrious women who helped settle the West. This book traces the work of the women who were also pioneers, going west into unknown challenges to start farms, to work the land. Appropriately enough, the book begins by considering the contributions of Sacajawea, a Shoshone, to the Lewis and Clark expedition.-Other subjects covered: the role of women in raising families, the role of women in education and cultural activities, working women (whether seamstresses, laundresses, etc.), women professionals (doctors and lawyers), and women as Hell-raisers (Belle Starr, Calamity Jane, women as cowboys, and so on.-The book, in short, provides coverage of a sometimes neglected aspect of life in the Old West.
