The trials and excitement of pioneer life and survival are portrayed in these personal accounts by 15 diverse women who lived in the unsettled Southwest primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The events in these women's lives are told through their oral histories, diaries, etc. Their varied writing styles vividly portray their daily struggles in a rugged environment, as well as their newly discovered sense of personal freedom.
