Joan M. Jensen. Calling This Place Home: Women on the Wisconsin Frontier, 1850–1925. St. Paul: Minnesota Historical Society Press. 2006. Pp. xv, 518. $34.95.

In this book, Joan M. Jensen has undertaken a monumental task: telling the stories of women, both settler and Native, who made north central Wisconsin their home in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is a monumental task not because of the geographic scope of the work, but because of the detail with which the author tells her story, and the equal attention she gives to Native American, native born, and immigrant women. Jensen's work is monumental, as well, in its treatment of both family history and the history of a region, blending seamlessly the story of her own grandmother's and mother's lives with those of other women throughout the area.
