Letters of a woman homesteader (Series title)

Readings of letters written by a woman homesteader, Elinore Pruitt Stewart (1876-1933) in Wyoming from 1909-1913. The materials used in this program come from “Letters of a woman homesteader” by Elinore Pruitt Stewart, published by the Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. Elinore Stewart’s letters were copyrighted by herself and by Atlantic Monthly in 1913. The letters are read by Luce Morgan; produced and narrated by Brett Vuolo; the music is provided by Larry Packer; technical production by Peter Zanger. These three episodes of Stewart’s letters were part of a continuing series on KPFA based on women’s diaries and letters. From 1972-1974, WBAI producers Ann Snitow, Brett Vuolo, and Nanette Rainone produced radio programs based on women’s diaries and letters, read by the authors and others, as a collaborative movement to acknowledge women’s history through radio programming. Programs were originated at WBAI but were often rebroadcast on KPFA and other Pacifica stations.
