The Women of the Old West

from Viewpoints Radio · host Evan Rook, Marty Peterson, Ebony McMorris | AURN, Gary Price

When most people imagine the early West, they picture wide open landscapes, lawlessness and sweaty men working away in mines and on farms. While this is part of the narrative, the other lesser known side is the unique opportunities the West held for women of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Author Winifred Gallagher joins us this week to share how the ladies of this region fought for greater equality and recognition.
