  When we think about women settlers on the Prairies, our notions tend to veer between the nostalgic image of the 'cheerful helpmate' and the grim deprivation of the 'reluctant immigrant'. This title shows how a critical approach to the life-writing of individual prairie women can broaden and deepen our understanding of the settlement era.
