Calling This Place Home: Women on the Wisconsin Frontier, 1850-1925 by Joan M. Jensen (305.4097 JENS). Historian Jensen spent a decade researching this book that focuses on the area where her grandparents eked out a living in the early 20th century. The records and stories that she found, of both native Americans and settlers, revealed how everyone struggled to make a living as economies evolved from logging to dairying to tourism. Jensen sets the individual stories of women meeting the challenges to their cultures and values within the context of larger events that were shaping Wisconsin and the nation. This is a book that Dixie recommended enthusiastically.
