Staking Her Claim – Women
Homesteading the West
Instead of talking about women’s rights,
these frontier women
grabbed the opportunity to
become landowners by
homesteading in the still wild west of the
early 1900s. They tell their stories in their
own words – through letters and articles of
the times. Marcia Hensley |
