How did women in the early twentieth century, newly arrived in NorthWest Canada, cope with their strange new lives so very different from the lives they used to lead? How did they see themselves and their role in frontier life?In the early twentieth century, drawn west by the promise of free land, economic success or religious and political freedom, women moved from eastern Canada and overseas to farms and ranches in NorthWest Canada. They discovered that it was not the utopia touted by government propaganda or land agents. They also discovered that there was a select but diverse group of rural women who shared their common experiences of isolation, of hard work and duty, of poverty and neglect. But, more importantly, they shared knowledge of independence and selfreliance and of pride in what they had accomplished.Through letters written to the womens pages in agricultural newspapers, they forged a vital network that supported, encouraged and educated women in ways to improve their rural lives. Their letters show how these rural women made significant and vital contributions to the settlement and development of the Canadian NorthWest.

I was looking for something a little different when I purchased this book. The letters are interesting but sometimes hard to get through. My delivery took longer than expected too, which was frustrating. Overall, it's decent but not really my cup of tea.

Beautifully compiled letters!
This book is such a treasure! The letters from rural women are beautifully compiled and showcase their stories from 1900-1920 so well. I loved the format, and the quality of the writing really shines through. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves history.

Disappointing quality
Unfortunately, my copy of this book arrived with some pages wrinkled and a few letters smudged. The content is great, but the quality of the printed book disappointed me. I expected better for the price. Hoping for a replacement soon!

Interesting but a bit repetitive
I appreciated the historical context in this collection, but some letters felt a bit similar after a while. Still, it's worth a read for the insights it provides into rural life. Just don't expect every letter to be a page-turner.

A touching glimpse into rural life
I really enjoyed reading 'Letters from Rural Women of the Northwest.' The stories from 1900 to 1920 bring such rich perspectives on life back then. It's a beautiful reminder of women's voices in history. Perfect for anyone interested in life writing or women's studies!
