description: If men were like horses . . . wait a minute, men are like horses!OK, girls, it's time to belly up to the bar and throw down with some straight talk about life, love, and wrangling. (Wrangling?) Yes, wrangling, says veteran humorist Ellen "Lil" Patrick in her latest book of wry advice that, while it might make readers laugh, will also make them think about such burning issues if women are so liberated, why haven't we given ourselves the freedom to be happy? Why are so many over-achieving females such under-achievers in their personal lives? Why are we so tough on the outside and so stupid on the inside? The answers are right on the tip of your saddle horn, according to Patrick, who goes on to explain to all women—be they urban, suburban, or real live ranch hands—how to nurture your Inner Cowgirl for a fully integrated, happy personal life that, while it takes no guff, also nourishes the ultimate in modern womanhood and femininity.Readers who enjoyed The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love or The Rules will thank Lil Patrick for coming along and out-dishing those titles in terms of both practicality and laughs. Chapters such as Discovering Your Inner Cowgirl, Fully Understanding John Wayne, and Tying Your Horse Up (So He Doesn't Wander Away) help women of all ages roll up their sleeves and clean out the barn!"It's about time we cowgirls took charge of our love lives the way we take charge on the trail. Lil Patrick finally took our best bunkhouse secrets and put ’em in this dandy book for all us gals to share!"  —Frances Mae "Rusty" Callahan, owner and head wrangler, Rusty's Dude Ranch, Medicine Hole, Wyoming
