Cowgirls

by Erin H. Turner, Wynne Brown (Contributor), Lynn Bragg (Contributor)

From Jo Monaghan, the Southern-belle-debutant turned Idaho cattlewoman, to Fanny Sperry Steele, the Bucking Horse Champion of the World, the Wild West was populated with untamed women who worked and played as men did in the saddles of their favorite bucking broncos. This book brings together their stories, including their own thoughts about being cowgirls, and archival art that celebrates the Western experience.

When you don't have the time or the attention span this is interesting to sit down and read. With short chapters on individual cowgirls in the Old West it shows the determination, courage, and grit of the women that braved the frontier.
