While many books about the western frontier focus on the notorious men who were leaders in the formative years, there were many women who independently broke ground and made their voices and leadership known.
The biographies are interesting and have helpful, detailed “Sources and Further Reading” at the end of each of them. Included are well-known women like Annie Oakley (who was actually an Eastern woman who promoted the ‘concept’ of what a Western woman was like) and now-obscure women like Gertrudis Barceló, the leading monte-bank dealer in the Mexican territory of New Mexico in the 1830s.
Although this is could be considered an introductory type of book for western history and women’s history buffs, with guidance to more detailed studies, I think anyone would find this an enjoyable read.
I was especially interested in Abigail Scott Duniway, a determined woman’s suffragist and after 40 years of campaigning, the first female voter in Oregon in 1914. I plan to use the listed sources to further my knowledge of this courageous woman. Even the profiled women whose convictions are in opposition to mine were helpful in forming an overall understanding of this country during the 1800s.
