Price: $12.95

In More Than Petticoats, author Gayle C. Shirley has gathered the stories of fourteen remarkable women from Montana’s past. While readers may be familiar with the lives of some of these women, such as peace activist Jeannette Rankin, Crow healer Pretty Shield, and frontier photographer Evelyn Cameron, many of these women are little known. Now, for the first time, their lasting contributions are chronicled as a part of Montana’s history.

Discover Mattie Castner, entrepreneur and founder of Belt; Maria Dean, the first female physician licensed in the state of Montana; Ella Knowles Haskell, the first female lawyer admitted to the Montana bar; Fanny Cory Cooney, illustrator and internationally syndicated cartoonist; and Fannie Sperry Steele, world champion bronc rider. All fourteen women, born before the turn of the century, faced incredible challenges. Read about their triumphs in this collection of absorbing biographies.

By Montana author Gayle C. Shirley. 142 pages. Black and white photographs. 6” x 9”. Softbound.
