Back in the days when the West was ruled by the gun, it took a woman of great character and strong determination to survive.

From the Southwest to Alaska, from lives as political activists to lives as outlaws and "Soiled Doves", these women of the West triumphed over hardship to leave their mark on a bountiful yet merciless land.

This is a group that celebrates the women of the American West. We'll talk about women from Old West history, movies, TV shows, and books.
