Scandalous Women Of The Old West: Women Who Dared To Be Different

by Donna Pedace

Detailed profiles of ten amazing women who lived in the Old West. They dared to step outside the traditional roles of wife and mother, and left society’s conventions behind them. These women engaged in a wide range of interests and professions, and their stories will inspire and entertain. They overcame incredible odds to make a place for themselves in their chosen world, despite the sometimes strong objections of both men and women. Each blazed new trails for women who would come after them. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for their strong will and perseverance.

Looking for free books to read with an upcoming auto/biography theme for a book club in a couple months, this jumped out at me on Audible. It is computer generated reading which made for a sort of bland listen, but still interested me enough to keep reading/listening. I was struck by the number of these women who specifically said they did not want a religious or traditional burial. Ten women of varying abilities and talents, some who married and basically carried their husbands in life, and many died without children. But all of them are known very well in their respective western states (apparently) and respected for their accomplishments.

Very interesting. A lot of amazing ladies that people don't really know about.
