Frontier Feminists
Historical novelist Jeff Heller presents the stories of two 18th century women who gained control of their destinies in very difficult times: Marie Chouteau, who built a dynasty in the Midwest and made a fortune for her family by selling fur; and Polly Brant, an Iroquois who championed her people during the Revolutionary War and inspired the first white feminists to launch the struggle for women's rights.
