{"product_id":"pioneer-women-9780671447489","title":"Pioneer Women","description":"From a rediscovered collection of autobiographical accounts written by hundreds of Kansas pioneer women in the early twentieth century, Joanna Stratton has created a collection hailed by \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e as \"uncommonly interesting\" and \"a remarkable distillation of primary sources.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNever before has there been such a detailed record of women's courage, such a living portrait of the women who civilized the American frontier. Here are their stories: wilderness mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shootouts, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains vividly reveal the drama, danger and excitement of the pioneer experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese were women of relentless determination, whose tenacity helped them to conquer loneliness and privation. Their work was the work of survival, it demanded as much from them as from their men--and at last that partnership has been recognized. \"These voices are haunting\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review), \u003c\/i\u003e and they reveal the special heroism and industriousness of pioneer women as never before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780671447489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.08w x 0.86d","brand":"Joanna Stratton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639789645980,"sku":"9780671447489","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ebf7838b-b56b-4154-a6b7-d2a530abdde2.jpg?v=1603850600","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pioneer-women-9780671447489","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
