Scandalous Women of the Old West
Nov. 29, 2022 12:00 p.m.
Hear author Donna Pedace speak of ten amazing women who lived in the Old West who dared to step outside the traditional roles of wife and mother, and left society’s conventions behind them. These women engaged in a wide range of interests and professions and overcame incredible odds to make a place for themselves in their chosen world despite the sometimes strong objections of both men and women. Each blazed new trails for women who would come after them. We all owe them a debt of gratitude for their strong will and perseverance. |
