Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith vividly describe the hardships such women endured journeying west and making homes and communities on the frontier. Their hopes and fears and, most of all, their courage in the face of adversity are revealed in excerpts from journals, letters, and oral histories. Illustrated with a fascinating collection of seldom-seen photographs, Pioneer Women reveals the faces as well as the voices of women who lived on the frontier.\u003cp\u003eThe authors portray a wide variety of women, from those who found liberty and confidence in undertaking \"men's work\" to those who felt burdened by the wind, the weather, and the struggle of frontier life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Peavy, Ursula Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806130547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806130545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.08h x 8.60w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 85 - Outstanding","brand":"Linda Peavy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052215136511,"sku":"9780806130545","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17324a93-5f24-41be-9c16-c58bfc4e6207.jpg?v=1685017576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pioneer-women-linda-peavy-9780806130545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
