Elaine Leslau Silverman

4.9/5 (26315 ratings)

Description:The Last Best West celebrates the diverse experiences of the women who settled in frontier Alberta, beginning as early as the mid-1880s. They came from many different backgrounds and countries, some reluctantly, some enthusiastically, and most without a clear idea of what to expect in their new home. Their stories of immigration, education, marriage, household work, paid labor, and childbirth form a “domestic history” of Alberta that is often more revealing than a traditional history. They talk of the loneliness and determination required to build a home, community, and province where there was once nothing but prairie.Author and historian Eliane Leslau Silverman faithfully conveys the stories these women shared with her, in their own words. This chorus of voices offers a clear and fascinating picture of the social, cultural, and physical conditions met by the women who ventured west into the harsh land of Canada’s rural and urban frontier.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
