'Beyond Schoolmarms And Madams': Montana Women's Stories

Home Ground Radio with Brian Kahn

From Ruth Garfield, a female sheriff in 1920, to Elouise Cobell, a Blackfeet banker in the 21st Century, women have significantly shaped the state and communities across Montana. Beyond Schoolmarms and Madams celebrates the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote in Montana, six years before the 19th Amendment. Two of the authors, Annie Hanshew and Laura Ferguson, discuss how the Montana Historical Society selected the collection of women's stories.

(Broadcast: "Home Ground Radio", 11/20/16. Listen on the radio or online, Sundays at 11:10 a.m., or via podcast.)
