Many Nevada women have made lasting social, political, and cultural contributions to
both their own state and to the nation. MORE THAN PETTICOATS: REMARKABLE
NEVADA WOMEN (Globe Pequot, $10.95 paperback) presents the compelling histories
of twelve pioneer women, all born before 1900, who traveled Nevada Territory in
unstable wagons, on temperamental mules, and in early Model Ts to leave a legacy of
courage and celebration as they broke records, hearts, and rules while conquering
uncharted ground. It is as informative as it is entertaining.
