Spending months on a sailing ship. Living alone in the wilderness. Making brave journeys through rough country. Setting up a business and becoming independent.

These are just some of the exciting adventures experienced by the first European women who came to settle in New Zealand. They made the brave choice to travel to the other side of the world from the friends and family, to live in a new land with its own people.

In this book, they tell the stories in their own words, showing the range and variety of pioneer women's experience but also the adventurous spirit that was required to survive and thrive here.
