Episode #159 – WOMEN WERE THERE
Three dynamic authors, members of “The Hottie Historian Collective,” join us for the second of two October appearances. Meet award-winning authors LYNN DOWNEY, JANELLE MOLONY, and JANE LITTLE BOTKIN.
A common theme running through their writings is that strong women have always played impactful roles in history, yet their stories remain in the shadows. Lynn shares this thought, “we write on topics not many western historians tackle.”
Janelle adds, “we make it a point to announce in our books that ‘women were there’ and we intentionally serve up their perspectives on the development of the West.” Jane follows with, “bold women make history” and we are available to share their stories at speaking events for organizations like historical societies.”
We’ll be talking about their titles:
Lynn Downey – “American Dude Ranch: A Touch of the Cowboy and the Thrill of the West”
Janelle Molony – “Emigrant Tales of the Platte River Raids”
Jane Little Botkin – “The Breath of a Buffalo, A Biography of Mary Ann Goodnight”
