"I thought the photos were awesome and showed the mud and filth in which the women worked and lived on the prairie. The stories were also candid and told personal stories.
Had a hard time with the authors making comments about the women "sharing the work with men" when they worked beside their husbands in the fields. There is no "sharing" when you are still responsible for bearing and rearing children, cooking, clothing, cleaning, getting water, etc., etc.
These women were very strong and that doesn't seem to come through."
"I generally shy away from anything to do with old west. Perhaps it is the overstimulization from growing up in the kansas/oklahoma region. From The wilders to the Creek and Osage indians I just found it frankly a little cliche and boring.
This book offers a fresh and enlightening view of the frontier from a womans perspective. The photographs are candid and really make the people seem more real and less pose-no-smile-portraits.
I really drew strength from many of the stories of woman who were seperated from their families to start a new life- something that I have had to experience. It is candid about the frustrations and lonliness often experienced."
"Beautiful photos and intricate biographical information present women's experiences on the frontier. Includes rarely-heard stories of managing pregnancy and childbirth on the wagon trail. The lives of hispanic, native, and black women are represented as well."
