She was only 3 years old at the time! Her mother pulled a handcart along with her children that great distance, suffering during an early winter, to meet up with her husband who had traveled ahead of them. My great-great-grandmother walked over 1,000 miles across the American plains in 1856. As I look at my own family history, I have learned that I am descended from many strong and courageous women. Recently the stories of their lives are coming to light, and many universities (and even some high schools) offer courses in women’s history. However, there are countless women who played important roles in history.
It does not seem like a coincidence that the first three letters in history are “his.” Most history is written by men and about men.
