Description
From Sacagawea’s travels with Lewis and Clark to rock groupie Pamela Des Barres’s California trips, women have moved across the American West with profound consequences for the people and places they encounter. This book powerfully and poetically shows us that to understand the American West, we must examine the lives of women who both built and resisted American expansion.
