This captivating book delves into the diverse lives and experiences of women whose labor fueled the growth of the Greater West. Meet homesteaders who carved out farms from the unforgiving prairie, irrigators who turned deserts into verdant oases, and miners who toiled alongside their male counterparts in the bowels of the earth.

Women's work extended beyond the traditional realm of domesticity. They operated businesses, taught school, provided healthcare, and even served as law enforcement officers. In cities and mining camps alike, their contributions were essential to the social and economic fabric of the West.
