À propos de cet audio

Discover the stories of 12 women who heard the call to settle the West and who came from all points of the globe to begin their journeys.

As a slave Clara watched helplessly as her husband and children were sold, only to be reunited with her youngest daughter as a free woman six decades later.

As a young girl, Charlotte hid her gender to escape a life of poverty and became the greatest stagecoach driver who ever lived.

As a Native American, Gertrude fought to give her people a voice and to educate leaders about the ways and importance of America's native people.

These are gripping miniature dramas of good-hearted women, selfless providers, courageous immigrants and migrants, and women with skills too innumerable to list. Many were crusaders for social justice and women's rights. All endured hardships, overcame obstacles, broke barriers, and changed the world. The author ties the stories of these pioneer women to the experiences of women today with the hope that they will be inspired to live boldly and bravely and to fill their own lives with vision, faith, and fortitude. To live with grit.

Certainly we owe a debt of gratitude to so many women in our past. I thoroughly enjoyed stories of determined women who set rights of women in motion. They were courageous. Their male counterparts are also to be applauded. These examples are a reminder that we too must stand to defend what is fair and right.
Easy and interesting to listen to. Very enjoyable.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The stories were interesting and varied. I liked the way the author reflected on the life lessons she derived from each of the women. I read some of the negative reviews about this book and I think they are unfair. The accomplishments of the women in this book were important and inspiring to hear.

Surprising and entertaining

Well written, well narrated.
Fascinating accounts of varied characters, with an open-minded account of people's stories. I wish all historical works were written with this level of curiosity, compassion, and selfless respect for each individual's story.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
