This chapter explains about women in the 1890s and highlights some of the more interesting women whose stories are woven into the historical narrative and legacy of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The private sphere of domesticity was the realm of women, who avoided the public sphere of men. The first generation of primary sources on women in the frontier army, written mostly by the women themselves and published over the span of nearly a century, shares a common theme: the struggle to maintain a good, civilized and Christian home in the decidedly uncivilized western frontier. Scholars have explored the views on Indian women by Euro‐American women migrating to the frontier. Glenda Riley argued that many white women's views softened as they endured the hardships of building a life, which forced them to revise their own perceptions of gender and themselves.
