The pioneer women were absolutely dependent on their men…just as the men were dependent on their women!Not quite. Frontier men outnumbered women between twenty to one and ten to one for a century, and many of those women were disease-carrying prostitutes, aka "Frontier Feminists."

The true Frontier period in America goes back to 1620.
