The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Many social workers in the late 1880s were college-educated, middle-class women because they thought they were capable to contribute to the Progressive Era. They became women activists that participated in the movement to demand better conditions for women, children, equal opportunities, and the fight against corruption in the federal government. Step by step, women could create some important spaces in public spaces.
They faced Hostile Indians, starvation, poor leadership, lack of government, cannibalism, and lack of skills among colonists. So sorry if this is incorrect.
