Abigail Scott Duniway(1834-1915) was seventeen when she and her family went on the Oregon Trail. Out west, she ran a school, a hat shop, and a newspaper to support her disabled husband and six children. She also campaigned to win equal justice for women and suffrage-the right to vote.
What an amazing woman! You do what you must do survive and make things bearable and better for those around you.
