Cowgirls: Women of the American West (Women of the West)

Rating:
Summary: Real women of the American West, not Hollywood!
Review: Each chapter contains a photo and a unique and interesting interview with a real woman of the west, ranchers, cowgirls, young and old alike. Every night, after my own chores were done, I'd read about another woman, who like me, loved hard work, the outdoors, and animals. It was like visiting with a new friend, some I liked more than others, but all of us similar in some way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and want to read more like it.

Summary: Wonderful real ranch lives
Review: I loved this book! It is so exciting to know that other ranch woman are living and doing the same kind of things that you are. I think that sometimes you feel alone and this book lets me know that i am not. I really related to a lot of what was in the book, and it made me want to do more in the ranching field and also to verify that ranch life is not "dead and gone". Teresa has such a wonderful and colorful way with words and really relates to the ranch woman, being raised as one herself. I highly recommed this book to anyone!

Summary: Real Women - Real Life
Review: This book really put life into perspective for me. As a woman rancher, I really felt a kinship with a lot of the women and found renewed strength and courage through their experiences. I realized how much I really enjoy what I do. My only regret is that I did not read this book earlier in my life. Ms. Jordan did an excellent job of capturing these women's spirit and drive. I was thankful that she updated the original verson and find myself still wantintg to know how these women are getting along. Just like they were personal friends. At times I found myself envious of her for getting to meet them. Even the bibliography was a joy to read and I found several books to add to my reading list. Thank you Teresa Jordan.
