While Susan B. Anthony and her hoop-skirted friends were declaring that females too were created equal, Sally Skull was already riding and roping and marking cattle with her Circle S brand on the frontier of Texas. In Colorado, Cassie Redwine rounded up her cowboys and ambushed a group of desperadoes. In Montana, Susan Haughian took on the United States government in a dispute over some grazing rights, and the government got the short end of the stick. Susan McSween carried on an armed dispute between ranchers in New Mexico and the U.S. Army. In Arizona, Annette Taylor experimented with new grasses and found cures for the diseases that plagued her stock.
From ranches to Wild West show and rodeo; from dime novels and fiction to song, joke, tall tales and the movies; from the frontier to the footlights-that's what The Cowgirls is all about!
"Cowboys have always had more attention than their female counterparts, but in fact the Old West never was, nor is today, totally a man's world. Joyce Roach is the ideal writer to set the record straight."
- Benjamin Capps, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
