Discover how an all-women town government transformed a struggling town into a thriving community.
A humorous and fresh take on the history of the West for kids ages 7-10.
Jackson, Wyoming was a small town with a wild reputation. Outlaws seeking refuge in the rugged valley and beasts prowling too close for comfort had the media in a frenzy. Cut off by mountains and ruled by grit, it was known as the bad man's town.
In 1920, Jackson made headlines for a different reason-electing an all-women town council. This group of trailblazers transformed the town with bold reforms in safety, finances, and public works, laying the foundation for the popular destination it is today.
With a mix of humor and heart, award-winning author Sarah Jane Marsh and and illustrator Jenn Harney bring to life the remarkable true story of these inspiring women in a picture book full of playful, quirky illustrations.
