I think middle school me would have loved this book. I got to go to a dude ranch and be a cowgirl for a week a few times as a kid and loved horses. The writing in this book is ok, but the pictures really make the book. Also loved the direct quotes from really women. Fun to see a under recognized population get some attention.

Interesting book that profiles famous cowgirls both in real life and the movies. I did not know that women did bronc riding and that it was stopped because they were better at than men. That makes me happy and angry at the same time. The book is interesting, if mostly profiles.

However, the format on the kindle version (the version which I read) is horrible! It's great that the photos are kept, but the photos are in the strangest places and interrupt sentences. Additionally captions appear paragraphs (or two pages) before the photos in some cases.
