We know all about the bandits and bad boys, the gunfighters and goons, but not the women who held it together with grit and spit. The reality is plain: there would never have been a settled West without the women—Native and Mexican women here first; Black and White women who followed—all settling the vast, unknown, and scary lands beyond the Mississippi River. But they’ve never gotten their due. If they’re mentioned at all, it’s as whores or tough-living Calamity Jane.-TrueWest Magazine
