About the Book:
In this collection, 41 women share 41 unforgettable true stories. From midwifery, to sobriety, to extreme adventure, women's voices across generations are honored and celebrated. These are diverse stories of resistance, resilience, and love, making it perfectly clear that there is no one single narrative of Montana women. Proceeds benefit Humanities Montana and the Zootown Arts Community Center. This collection would not have been possible without the generous support of Richard Fifield.
