How would one describe a woman of the early west? I bet that description would not include one of a single pioneer woman which homesteaded 12% of homesteads in the western plains.
Would encourage you to read http://www.colorado.edu/AmStudies/lewis/west/piowomen.pdf brief accounts about such women that endured the hardships of the early pioneers.
Who would be up for such a challenge -- sod hut & hard work but the land would be yours?
