From Jo Monaghan, the Southern-belle-debutant turned Idaho cattlewoman, to Fanny Sperry Steele, the Bucking Horse Champion of the World, the Wild West was populated with untamed women who worked and played as men did in the saddles of their favorite bucking broncos.

This book brings together their stories, including their own thoughts about being cowgirls, and archival art that celebrates the Western experience.
