Apart from the title role, there's only one other named female character, Widow Garrity, who is dead before the movie is half over, but not before having a couple of brief, moving exchanges with Gretchen, the heroine who brings her starving family food and agrees to her dying wish to take care of her children.

Wow neat. I think may actually be where they got the main family subplot for Dr. Quinn , Medicine Woman.
