  ‘The Wilful Woman’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1922. 'The Wilful Woman' remained unfinished and so the tough, spoiled, rich American woman, used to having her own way, does not get the nemesis Lawrence may have had in mind for her. Whether it was the Wordsworthian lessons of nature as she battles her way through the American wilderness or the harder lessons of a waiting husband who may or may not want her, we will never know.

  BLOOD WOULD BE SPILT, LIVES CHANGED AND DECISIONS MADE. 
  When the Salish War Leader, Spotted Eagle appeared in the clearing before their cabin, life-long friends Gabe and Ezra weren’t sure what to think. This man had shown himself to be their friend, and now he invited them to join him and the village on a buffalo hunt. With winter just around the corner, it seemed the likely thing to do, but had they known what the journey would bring, they might have had second thoughts… 
  Gabe and Ezra’s discovery of the massacre of the Paiute village, and the three survivors that told the story, was just the beginning of the fight against the warring Waiilatpus. When the band of raiders also attacked the Salish and fled, it was up to Gabe and Ezra to seek some vengeance and recapture the stolen girls. 
  A pursuit across the lava beds of the Snake River plains, a fight in the dead of night, a thundering stampede of buffalo, and a horde of bugs that shrouded the entire valley, were just the added complications to a simple buffalo hunt, or perhaps more. The unorthodox ways of the two non-native men would earn Gabe more scars, Ezra a new name, the lasting friendship of the Paiute, and the gratefulness of the Salish.

  Jack London’s A Daughter of the Snows introduces us to Frona Welse, a strong-willed, fiercely independent woman who returns to Alaska after studying in Europe. Set against the rugged, unforgiving landscape of the Yukon, the story follows Frona’s encounters with both the wilderness and the people of the Klondike during the Gold Rush. She challenges societal expectations, particularly in her unconventional relationships and friendships, and finds herself entangled in a love triangle involving two very different men: Gregory St. Vincent, a refined Englishman, and Vance Corliss, a rugged, intellectually driven American. As Frona navigates love, betrayal, and adventure, she confronts both her personal ideals and the harsh realities of survival in a world marked by stark contrasts of wealth and poverty, civilization and savagery.
