Abstract
This book makes a simple, but important, point and proves it on the basis of painstaking research: pioneer women went to the frontier with a mental baggage of myths and prejudices about themselves and Indians, but while living in the West they changed their self-image as well as their image of the natives, establishing close relationships with them more frequently than men.
