Frontier life requiered women to be self-reliant, independent and hardy: as they learned to adapt, frontierswomen also learned to reexamine sterotypes in the light of experience. In particular, they came to see how much they had in common with American Indian women and that thier prejudieces about native life were unfounded." This is a first work of womens studies in this area of womens views and as such is an important addition to Western history, women's studies and American Indian studies, examining images and myths of both women and Indians using examples from history, literature, and film along with period photos.
