Probably
you’ve never heard of the three Western women featured in
this book. But if you’re not put off by literary criticism or
footnotes, you’ll meet Mary MacLane, who lived in Butte,
Mont., and thought it "sordid, beastly ... but withal full of
romance and poetry; Opal Whiteley in Oregon, a "queer child" who
recited poems to mice; and Juanita Harrison, a black woman from
California who traveled the world.
