These are the Texas Dames; women who sallied forth to run sprawling ranches; build towns; helm major banks and shape Lone Star history. These "Dames" broke gender and racial barriers in every facet of life. Some led the way as heroines; while others slid headlong into notoriety; but nearly all exhibited similar strands of courage and determination to wrest a country; a state and a region from the wilds. From Angelina of the Hasinai; interpreter for the Spanish; and sharpshooter Sally Scull to Dr. Claudia Potter; Americas first female anesthesiologist; and Birdie Harwood; first female mayor in the United States; historian Carmen Goldthwaite has been profiling Texas women and their accomplishments in her popular "Texas Dames" column. Here are their stories; from early Tejas to the twentieth century.

Just what I needed for my class.By Kendra PatockiI havent told lately that I love them...but; do I EVER! This book was over $100 at the Campus Bookstore. Ive got a full load of classes; and the books add up fast; its annoying. As for the content...it is what it is. Theres a lot more statistics and tedious information in it than I was expecting (the type is really small!); but I didnt have a say in the matter either way so...like I said; it is what it is!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Amazing Book!By K.CampbellI purchased this book for an online Urban Geography class and I could not be happier! This book is amazing because I found it very easy to read; it was not complicated; and the definitions on vocabulary were impeccable! I highly recommend this book to anyone taking Urban Geography!
