Críticas:
"A dramatic and entertaining book."--NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE "Poignant stories of women who risked everything for the great Western adventure."--SATURDAY REVIEW "I know of no other book devoted to the distaff side of pioneering that is at once so vivid and authentic."--Bernard de Voto, NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE "It is a charming and lively book. . . . No work of pure fiction could equal this amazing true record of women's indomitable passage across the continent."--CHICAGO SUN BOOK WEEK
Reseña del editor:
WESTWARD THE WOMEN is a book about women of every kind and sort, from nuns to prostitutes, who participated in the greatest American adventure—pioneering across the continent. Not only does the material represent half-forgotten history—which the author garnered from attics, libraries, state historical museums, and the reminiscences of Far Western Old-timers—but it is unique in presenting the woman’s side of the story in this major American experience.With dramatic clarity the author of THE FARTHEST REACH has written the intimate and human stories of certain outstanding personalities among these pioneer women; the Maine blue-stocking pursuing her studies of botany and taxidermy in frontier solitude; the gentle nuns from Belgium teaching needlework and litanies to “children of the forest”; the little ex-milliner who performed the first autopsy by a woman; the suffragette who established a newspaper for Western women and rode plushy river boats and the dusty roads preaching her gospel of Equal Rights; hurdy-gurdy girls from Idaho boomtowns; and many another martyr, heroine, diarist, gun moll, missionary, feminist, and mother in this turbulent era of pioneering.
