Description
The Story of a Pioneer is a memoir written by Anna Howard Shaw, an American suffragist, and women's rights activist. The book chronicles Shaw's life from her childhood in a poor family on a farm in Michigan to her rise as a prominent leader in the suffrage movement. Shaw's story is one of determination and perseverance as she faced numerous obstacles, including poverty, illness, and discrimination as a woman. Despite these challenges, she pursued higher education and became one of the first women to graduate from Boston University School of Theology. The book also details Shaw's involvement in the suffrage movement, including her work as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and her participation in marches and rallies. She shares personal anecdotes and insights into the struggles and triumphs of the movement, including the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Overall, The Story of a Pioneer is a compelling and inspiring account of one woman's journey to overcome adversity and fight for equality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in women's history and the suffrage movement.Thus, when he took up his claim of three hundred and sixty acres of land in the wilderness of northern Michigan, and sent my mother and five young chil- dren to live there alone until he could join us eighteen months later, he gave no thought to the manner in which we were to make the struggle and survive the hardships before us. He had furnished us with land and the four walls of a log cabin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
