Harriet's letters reveal her experiences with actors and institutions that played pivotal roles in the history of American women: the nascent literate female work force at the mills in Lowell, Massachusetts; the Ipswich Female Seminary, which was one of the first schools for women teachers; women's associations, especially in churches; and the close and enduring ties that characterized women's relationships in the late nineteenth century. <BWomen pioneersWisconsinBiographyMissionaries' spousesWisconsinBiographyOjibwa IndiansMissionsWisconsinHistory19th centuryFrontier and pioneer lifeWisconsinWomenEducationUnited StatesCase studiesWisconsinEthnic relationsHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Women pioneersMissionaries' spousesOjibwa IndiansMissionsHistoryFrontier and pioneer lifeWomenEducation977.5/03092BBunge Nancy L987810MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457496103321Woman in the wilderness2478187UNINA
