More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Nevada Women presents
the compelling stories
of twelve pioneering women, plus a remarkable group of
nuns, who braved dangers
and desolation in Nevada Territory during the tumultuous
1800s. Facing unimaginable challenges, they climbed mountains seeking
untold riches, swooped down legislative hallways, wove intricate artistry and
taught the next generation about equality.
