Buchbeschreibung 240 S. mit sehr zahlreichen schwarzweissen Abbildungen. Zustand: Gut mit Gebrauchsspuren. - "WOMEN OF THE WEST tells the stories of eleven western women in the United States between 1830 and 1910-women of varying economic, racial and religious backgrounds. Their stories are revealed through their own letters, diaries and journals, recounting daily activities and personal thoughts as they tried to survive under very difficult and at times nearly impossible circumstances. These are not the stories of the famous or the infamous, but rather stories of the everyday women of history, who came West either pursuing dreams of their own or in support of their husbands' search for a new and better life. In the words of author Cathy Luchetti: "History seldom tells the stories of the eight hundred thousand women who also came West, lively stories of courtship, love, inventiveness, humor, skulduggery, passion . We do not intend for this book to be an academic history based on the political and social events of the settling of the West, but a document of human experience. lt does not pretend to cover all the numerous nationalities and religions present in the West during this period, nor does it address the dozens of wonderfully diverse occupations women began to pursue. Instead this book is about those women who have not had a place in academic history . their stories show as clearly as possible the quality of their daily lives ." Cathy Luchetti also provides an overview of women in the West in an extensive and informative introduction. There is special emphasis on the experience of minority women."
