Here are the stories of singularly courageous West Coast women--driven, obsessed, sometimes desperate people whose nonconformist beliefs and actions made them rebels in society's eyes. Many faced hardship and ridicule as they pursued their goals. In these vivid biographies, Rich Mole chronicles the lives of some of the most celebrated and controversial women in BC, Washington and Oregon, including:
- pioneer Catherine Schubert, who faced danger and starvation on her heroic journey west;
- ballot-box rebel Abigail Scott Duniway, who endured poverty and scathing criticism during her fight for women's suffrage;
- Irene Bonnie Baird, who disguised herself as a nurse to write an exposé of their ordeals of Depression-era protesters;
- complex and contradictory doctor Bethenia Owens-Adair, who broke gender barriers yet is also remembered for a more tragic legacy.
