Some embraced their roles; others detested the life; often their contributions were minimized or overlooked. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, (and in a couple of cases dishonest), hardworking gals who donned trousers, tucked long hair under a straw hat, nurtured plants and baby livestock, studied the markets, fretted over the weather, disseminated vital information, scraped animal dung from their boots, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start all over again. Anyone who has lived and worked on a family farm or ranch may relate to the experiences of the women who are profiled. Town dwellers and urbanites generations removed from the farm or their rural communities, who grew up hearing grandparents' and great-grandparents' stories, will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in any way their foremothers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheryl Mullenbach\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of books for young adults and children including \u003ci\u003eDouble Victory: How African American Women Broke Race and Gender Barriers to Help Win World War II, The Industrial Revolution for Kids, The Great Depression for Kids, Women in Blue, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Torpedoed! \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also the author of nonfiction for adults, including \u003ci\u003eStagecoach Women\u003c\/i\u003e (TwoDot) and \u003ci\u003eWomen of the Spanish-American War\u003c\/i\u003e (Lyons Press).
