Barbara Handy-Marchello tells the stories of the unsung heroes of North Dakotas settlement era: the farm women. As the men struggled to raise and sell wheat, the women focused on barnyard labour -- raising chickens and cows and selling eggs and butter -- to feed and clothe their families and maintain their households through booms and busts. Handy-Marchello focuses on the roles of women in this pioneer generation -- their changing status from equal partnership to subordination, from being valued for their productive work to being glorified for their reproductive function. Enlivened by interviews with pioneer families as well as diaries, memoirs, and other primary sources, this book uncovers the significant and changing roles of Dakota farm women who were true partners to their husbands, their efforts marking the difference between success and failure for their families.
