"The subjects of this study--Betsey Stockton, Clara Brown, and Jane Elizabeth Manning James--migrated to Hawaii, Colorado, and Utah respectively in 1823, 1859, and 1847 at a time when most women were oppressed politically and economically due to their gender status in society and when a vast majority of African Americans were enslaved in the southern states and did not have the freedom to choose their own destinies. Freedom of mobility and migration provided Stockton, Brown, and James the opportunity to seek new territories that would offer greater opportunities which were not attainable for large numbers of enslaved women in the South. For these three early pioneers, who summoned the strength and courage to change their fate, mobility was emancipatory." [p. 5]
