The book highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of American women during the westward migration from 1840 to 1870. While frontiersmen are commonly celebrated in history and folklore, the experiences of women on the frontier are crucial for understanding the true nature of life during this transformative period in American history. It aims to provide a more comprehensive view of the challenges and roles women faced as they ventured into the unknown alongside their male counterparts.
