| Summary | "A Woman Tenderfoot" by Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the author's personal experiences as a woman venturing into the rugged wilderness of the American West, particularly focusing on hunting and outdoor life in the Rocky Mountains. It explores themes of adventure, femininity, and the spirit of independence, as well as the author's passion for nature and the unique challenges faced by women in a traditionally male-dominated environment. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for the author's journey, where she expresses her commitment to accompany her husband, Nimrod, on his hunting adventures in the West. As she prepares for this new chapter in her life, she reflects on the trials of adapting to an outdoor lifestyle, including learning how to ride and shoot. She humorously recounts her initial struggles with finding the right equipment and clothing suitable for camping and riding, and she addresses various gender expectations. The beginning establishes her resolve to embrace the wild outdoors and hints at an adventure filled with personal discovery and the restructuring of a woman’s identity in the face of nature's vastness and unpredictability.
