High Spirited Women of the West

By: Anne Seagraves
Profiles of ten courages women who
helped shape history are told in this
inspiring and entertaining book. These
high-spirited women left conventional
roles behind, becoming America's early
feminists that  were bold and rebellious
like Belle Starr and Ann Eliza Young.
Many, such as Sarah Sarah Winnemucca
and Abigail Duniway, were dedicated to
their causes; others, like Jessie Benton
Fremont, to the people they loved.
Demanding acceptance on their own
terms, they proudly took their place in
history beside the men of the untamed
West.

Descriptive text accompanied by period
photographs provide glimpses of these
strong women and the people they
touched as they blazed new trails for the
women of the 20th century.
