Description

“Two people, husband and wife, sat side by side at the wagon bench. Though they looked down the same rough road and experienced the same dazzling or dismal scenery, the diaries suggest that they lived in different worlds.” Louise Farmer Smith sets us squarely by the side of the woman at the wagon bench and vividly recreates the turmoil, excitement, and trepidation pioneer women experienced as they moved into the unknown. The Woman And not using a Voice tells the story of a pioneering circle of relatives her own, just like that of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s. Alternatively this story isn’t seen through the viewpoint of a kid, but of a woman, mother, and wife. The use of diaries and circle of relatives stories, Smith specializes in the pioneer women in her own circle of relatives. Silence and submission were the lot of married women who had no property and no say in where or how their families would live.
