Sitting at the kitchen tables of twelve women in their eighties who were born in or immigrated to Montana in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, between 1982 and 1988 oral historian Donna Gray conducted interviews that reveal a rich heritage. In retelling their life stories, Gray steps aside and allows theses women with supposedly "nothing to tell" to speak for themselves. Pride, nostalgia, and triumph fill a dozen hearts as they realize how remarkable their lives have been and wonder how they did it all. Some of these women grew up in Montana in one-bedroom houses; others traveled in covered wagons before finding a home and falling in love with Montana. These raw accounts bring to life the childhood memories and adulthood experiences of ranch wives who were not afraid to milk a cow or bake in a wooden stove. From raising poultry to raising a family, these women knew the meaning of hard work. Several faced the hardships of family illness, poverty, and early widowhood. Through it all, they were known for their good sense of humor and strong sense of self. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This is one of those books that will make you think!
This is a really interesting book to read. Afterward, take time to think about what you just read. Be grateful for what you have.
I know these women said they would never live any other way, but I felt sorry for them that they never met a person that was different from them, never tasted food that was from another culture, never visited an art museum, never went on vacation, never saw all of God's creations. I ended up feeling sorry for these women working so very hard all their lives and experiencing so little of all the splendor of the world. ( )
