Frontier Grit: True Stories of Daring Pioneer Women Book Review

November 9, 2016 by The Things I Love Most

I love a good true story about awesome people! This great book Frontier Grit: True Stories of Daring Pioneer Women is about amazing women that did incredible things. Each chapter is about women different women who stood up and did something with their lives! Each story teaches women to live boldly, be brave and to stand up for what you believe in! This would be a great book for anyone, but especially those that love stories of strong women that did hard things!Frontier Grit: True Stories of Daring Pioneer Women Book Review

Frontier Grit: True Stories of Daring Pioneer Women 

Book Summary: Discover the stories of twelve women who “heard the call” to settle the west and who came from all points of the globe to begin their journey.  As a slave, Clara watched as her husband and children were sold, only to be reunited with her youngest daughter, as a free woman, six decades later. As a young girl, Charlotte hid her gender to escape a life of poverty and became the greatest stagecoach driver that ever lived.  As a Native American, Gertrude fought to give her people a voice and to educate leaders about the ways and importance of her culture.

These are gripping miniature dramas of good-hearted women, selfless providers, courageous immigrants and migrants, and women with skills too innumerable to list. Many were crusaders for social justice and women’s rights. All endured hardships, overcame obstacles, broke barriers, and changed the world.

The author ties the stories of these pioneer women to the experiences of women today with the hope that they will be inspired to live boldly and bravely and to fill their own lives with vision, faith, and fortitude. To live with grit.

 I was given this book by the publisher in return for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way for this review. These are my own PERSONAL thoughts on the book.
