pioneer women
Westward expansion's women
Pioneer women were the female settlers who helped colonize frontier territories, particularly the American West during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The phrase evokes images of women in covered wagons, managing households under harsh conditions, and sharing equally in the physical labor of establishing homesteads.
Pioneer women faced childbirth without doctors and buried children on the trail.
