Helpful Score: 4
This book presents the fascinating experiences of multiple women who travelled to the Gold strikes in Alaska at the turn of the century. Not only were conditions harsh and primitive, but the women endured hardships all their own based on their gender. For some, the risks and sacrifices paid off enormously when they, with their husbands, struck it rich. Others fell into the wrong company and suffered as the result. More than a few fell in love with the stark and beautiful, though punishing landscape and made Alaska their home.
