Cowgirl Spirit: Strong Women, Solid Friendships and Stories from the Frontier

Cowgirls are the unsung heroines of the Wild West, and their grit and determination, verve and good spirits are legendary. Modern day cowgirls know just what they mean when they say: "I wonder how many more times I'm going to fall for the same kind of cowboy." –Bell Floyd, 1900 "The way to avoid housework is to live outside." –Sandra Blacksmith, 1901 "If a man had to give birth, he'd be a more considerate person." –Ma Robertson, 1901 With a mix of hundreds of quotations from the actual women who tamed the West, striking historical photographs, and fascinating stories from the frontier, Cowgirl Spirit is bound to bring out the power, independence, wisdom and spunk in every woman.
