Cattle

Published in the early 20th century, 'Cattle' by Onoto Watanna explores the harsh realities of ranch life across four Alberta ranches. The narrative centers on Nettie Day, who grapples with the oppressive power dynamics of her environment, particularly under the control of the domineering Bull Langdon. This novel highlights themes of survival and gender roles within a male-dominated society, making it a notable work in early feminist literature.
