NEW WOMEN IN THE OLD WEST From Settlers to Suffragists, an Untold American Story

This account of how women shaped the American West from 1840 to 1910 is given a sweeping overview by Gallagher. Blair Seibert narrates this look at how women from all ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds shaped the westward migration. This reviewer had a grandmother who was born in a sod dugout at the turn of the last century and can testify to the perseverance, industriousness, and general toughness of the women who shaped the West. Seibert's narration is a suitable match of voice to text. She is clear in enunciation and moves at a steady pace. Her expressive voice makes this a satisfying listening experience.
