Pioneer girl Laura Ingalls Wilder is best known for the ‘Little House’ series on prairie life in late 19th century America. But she wrote about much more than farming and farm life. This is a selected compilation of her opinion columns for a Missouri newspaper, written between 1911 and 1922. She writes on a wide range of subjects, including love, war, women’s rights, suffragists, self-reliance, immigration and a shrinking international community. These unique pieces show a woman fully engaged with the emerging modern world. Indeed, she displays a deep understanding of politics in a global village in which the United States was the driving force.
