What kind of woman flourishes on the High Plains, that harsh but beautiful expanse of prairie in the northern heartland? This book has the answer: ordinary woman with extraordinary humor, grit, and "blazing honesty and grace," in the words of Ann Zwinger. In these memoirs, reflections, and poems, contemporary women tell of the rigors, glories, and ironies of Western life throughout our century. They offer lessons on how to trap a muskrat, run a hay-baling business, spot a fake cowboy, and decipher the codes of a ranch marriage - and they tell about living close to the land.
