Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the old West, around the turn of the century, a few ranchers daughtersa brazen fewdecided to shake up the establishment a little bit. They put on shocking divided skirts they had stitched up themselves or pants they had borrowed from fathers or brothers. They abandoned their ridiculous sidesaddles and dared to get on their horses astride. Then they happily rode off, leaving their lady-like images in the dust. They shot coyotes in Montana, rode the range in Wyoming, homesteaded in Nebraska, roped steers in Nevada, and branded mavericks in Colorado. A brave few of themwith a new taste of freedomkept at it, weathering their faces, hardening their bodies (and maybe their minds), shocking their neighbors, and, along the way, developing the same passion for the cowboy way of life that many men had.In her new book, Judy Buffington Sammons explores the lives of bona-fide women ranchers, many of whom have gone unrecognized in the annals of Colorado's sheep and cattle industries. Riding, Roping, and Roses spans a time period from the late 1870s to the present and includes women from many different parts of the state. Some of the women were fairly well knownalmost legendsand some were obscure. Against all odds, they make a success of their ranching endeavors, sometimes accomplishing feats that far exceeded anyones expectationsincluding their own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Tiegs didn't take to driving a tractor when she became a farmer's wife, but after fifty years she considers herself the hub of the family operation. Lila Hill taught piano, then ultimately took a job off the farm to augment the family income during a period of rising costs. From Montana's cattle pastures to New Mexico's sagebrush mesas, women on today's ranches and farms have played a crucial role in a way of life that is slowly disappearing from the western landscape. Recalling her own family-farm ties, Sandra Schackel set out to learn how these women's lives have changed over the second half of the twentieth century. In Working the Land, she collects oral histories from more than forty women—in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, and Texas—recalling their experiences as ranchers and farmers in a modernizing West. Through this diverse group of women—white and Hispanic, rich and poor, ranging in age from 24 to 83—we gain a new perspective on their ties to the land. Although western ranch and farm women have often been portrayed as secondary figures who devoted themselves to housekeeping in support of their husbands' labors, Schackel's interviews reveal that these women have had a much more active role in defining what we know as the modern American West. As Schackel listened to their stories, she found several currents running through their recollections, such as the satisfaction found in living the rural lifestyle and the flexibility of gender roles. She also learned how resourceful women developed new ways to make their farms work—by including tourism, summer camps, and bed-and-breakfast operations—and how many have become activists for land-based issues. And while some like Lila made the difficult decision to work off the farm, such sacrifices have enabled families to hold onto their beloved land. Rich with memory and insight into what makes America's family farms and ranches tick, Working the Land provides a deeper understanding of the West's development over the last fifty years along with new perspectives on shifting attitudes toward women in the workforce. It is both a long-overdue documentation of the lives of hard-working farm women and a celebration of their contributions to a truly American way of life.

Book excerpt: "Long Vistas describes an era before and after the turn of the century when women and families homesteaded the grasslands of northeastern Colorado. With Congress's passage of the Homestead Act in 1862, women as well as men were entitled to claim 160 acres of the nation's hinterlands. What the act's supporters had not anticipated, however, was the effect homesteading would have on women. For the first time, in a nation whose founders linked land with wealth and political power, large numbers of women had access to landownership and to a taste of the empowerment that it could bring." "Long Vistas presents the stories of women who claimed land, and of other women who helped earn patents on land claimed by their husbands and fathers. Regardless of whose name appeared on a land claim, homesteading required the cooperation of family and neighbors. Women, men, and children worked, prayed, and played together. Mingling freely, homesteaders lowered barriers of age and gender, undermining time-honored hierarchies governing family and community life. The presence of landowning women reinforced this easy sociability by demonstrating a fuller range of options for what women and girls could do and be." "Drawing on reminiscences and never-before published oral histories, personal papers, and land records, historian Katherine Harris takes a fresh, sometimes controversial, look at the impact of homesteading on gender roles and the distribution of economic power between women and men."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Colorado Women written by Gail M. Beaton and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado Women is the first full-length chronicle of the lives, roles, and contributions of women in Colorado from prehistory through the modern day. A national leader in women's rights, Colorado was one of the first states to approve suffrage and the first to elect a woman to its legislature. Nevertheless, only a small fraction of the literature on Colorado history is devoted to women and, of those, most focus on well-known individuals. The experiences of Colorado women differed greatly across economic, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. Marital status, religious affiliation, and sexual orientation colored their worlds and others' perceptions and expectations of them. Each chapter addresses the everyday lives of women in a certain period, placing them in historical context, and is followed by vignettes on women's organizations and notable individuals of the time. Native American, Hispanic, African American, Asian and Anglo women's stories hail from across the state--from the Eastern Plains to the Front Range to the Western Slope--and in their telling a more complete history of Colorado emerges. Colorado Women makes a significant contribution to the discussion of women's presence in Colorado that will be of interest to historians, students, and the general reader interested in Colorado, women's and western history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grit, Not Glamour celebrates the contributions of our foremothers who devoted their lives to farming and ranching related pursuits. Some embraced their roles; others detested the life; often their contributions were minimized or overlooked. Readers will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, (and in a couple of cases dishonest), hardworking gals who donned trousers, tucked long hair under a straw hat, nurtured plants and baby livestock, studied the markets, fretted over the weather, disseminated vital information, scraped animal dung from their boots, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start all over again. Anyone who has lived and worked on a family farm or ranch may relate to the experiences of the women who are profiled. Town dwellers and urbanites generations removed from the farm or their rural communities, who grew up hearing grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ stories, will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in any way their foremothers.
