Autorenporträt
Abigail Scott Duniway (1834-1915) led the equal suffrage battle to victory in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington, was a vice president of the National Woman Suffrage Association, and remains one of the West's most famous female historical figures. As a teen, she traveled over the Oregon Trail to become a teacher, pioneer homesteader, mother of six children, noted author, and publisher. Her serialized novels, filled with realistic detail, ironic humor, and keen political insight, offer an excellent view of the life women led in the frontier West.
