pp. 365, “Professor Myres gives frontier women a voice they never had. She uses extensive source material by and about women–letters, journals, and reminiscences from over 400 collections–to study the impact of the frontier on women’s lives and the role of women in the West. She offers a major reinterpretation of the experience of pioneer women, including that of Indian, Mexican, French, black, and Anglo-American women. The account recreates in detail the frontier experience of all these women, beginning with their physical and intellectual responses to the trek West, and concluding with their struggle for political suffrage and economic opportunity. “
