So Much To Be Done
An anthology of interesting extracts of memoirs/diaries by women who ventured west. As with most anthologies some of the portions are better than the others. The longest extract "No persuits in common between us anymore" became the most boring because it contained the most repetition. Others were much better. The women tell of the hardships they endured and their accomplishments. Most of the history we hear leaves out the work of women. While men sometimes cooked for themselves, it was generally the women who ran the boarding houses and 'diners'. Women did the laundry and made everyday clothes for the family. Women also tended to the ranches and farms when the men were away. These excerpts provide only a part of the woman's side of the story. Unfortunately, much has been lost because it likely was never recorded.
