Extended description

This book, written by Vickie Britton, author of several western and contemporary western novels, is divided into three major sections. The first deals with female outlaws such as Belle Starr and other women who were suspected of or arrested for crimes. Renegade Women covers such colorful characters as Calamity Jane and stagecoach driver Charlie Parkhurst, independent women who made their own way in a man’s world. The third section discusses notorious shady ladies of the night, or “soiled doves” and the business of prostitution in the West.
