"In the U.S., single women could file for homesteads
in their own names. Between 1882-1890, roughly 1,000 Jews
filed for land in North and South Dakota alone, including
many single Jewish women ."

"Married women whose husbands owned or were claiming land
were denied homestead claim rights, but single women had the
same rights as men. Abraham's land would be in his name but
mine would be in my maiden name."
