Скачать или смотреть Frontier Wife Born in 1846 Talks About the Secret That Killed Her Marriage - Enhanced Audio

Stories and reflections from people born in the 1800s — compiled into one book you can return to for the rest of your life.

This story represents the reality of frontier women's secrets and the impossible choices they faced. Unwed pregnancy meant complete social ruin. Homes for unwed mothers took babies immediately after birth with no records given to mothers. Women who "disappeared" for months returned with fabricated stories. Many married without disclosing past pregnancies, fearing no man would marry them otherwise. When such secrets emerged years later, marriages often ended in all but name—divorce was too scandalous, but forgiveness was frequently impossible.
