A historical monograph honoring extraordinary women who forged resilient lives on the land – overseeing acreage, tending farms, stewarding livestock, and pursuing sustainable agriculture – while balancing motherhood and independent struggles. Their journeys reveal enduring self-reliance, perseverance, and ingenuity.
