In Women of the Northern Plains, Barbara HandyMarchello tells the stories of the unsung heroes of North Dakota's settlement era: the farm women. As the men struggled to raise and sell wheat, the women focused on barnyard laborraising chickens and cows and selling eggs and butterto feed and clothe their families and maintain their households through booms and busts. HandyMarchello focuses on the roles of women in this pioneer generationtheir 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, Women of the Northern Plains 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.
