Women in Wonderland: Lives, Legends, and Legacies of Yellowstone National Park by Elizabeth A. Watry

It would be interesting if the author included a list of potential women for the book and the reasons for the selected featured individuals. Well researched and clear writing. For some of the chapters, the author seems to sugar coat negative subjects. Towards the end the author embraces the concepts that these women’s lives were difficult. Sometimes the author imputed optimism when based on the facts, I doubt that’s how the women felt. Enjoyed it overall as an introduction to many potential offshoot studies into Yellowstone and it’s history.

I liked this book, but didn't love it. However, I am giving it 4 stars because I suspect that the information will stick with me for a while!
