Description: Was the West really hell on horses and women? Not always. This collection of short stories is designed to refute the traditional notion that women in western fiction were mere stereotypes--the soiled dove or the pure schoolmarm--and show that both male and female authors have created strong and interesting female characters in western fiction, both past and present.
