Description
From the time of the gold rush to the election of the first woman to the U.S. Congress, Wanton West brings to life the women of the West's wildest region: Montana, famous for its lawlessness, boomtowns, and America’s largest red-light districts. Prostitutes and entrepreneurs--like Chicago Joe, Madame Mustache, and Highkickerflocked to Montana to make their own money, gamble, drink, and raise hell just like men. Moralists wrote them off as soiled doves,” yet a surprising number prospered, flaunting their freedom and banking ten times more than their respectable” sisters.
A lively read providing new insights into women’s struggle for equality, Wanton West is a refreshingly objective exploration of a freewheeling society and a re-creation of an unforgettable era in history.
