Eight Women, Two Model Ts, and the American West
"[Cairns] focuses on three women who began their careers in California and went on to achieve considerable success and even fame. . . The three different personalities and different career trajectories bear witness to the very real possibilities—and difficulties—of challenging journalists' long-standing assumption that only white men were important as actors and audiences, so only white men could write for and about white men. As such, their stories will enliven undergraduate journalism history courses."—Linda Steiner, American Journalism "In detailing the lives of front-page female journalists Ruth Finney, Charlotta Bass, and Agness Underwood, Kathleen Cairns has thoroughly enriched the historiography of women in the American West. . . . With this definitive study, Cairns further demonstrates that women at work made a difference in the American West."—Gordon Morris Bakken, Montana the Magazine of Western History
