The Pacific Northwest teems with colorful history and unique legends—and this tour of the Beaver State is no exception! Check out the gas station restroom that looks like cowboy boots as you search the skies for a man flying across the state in a lawn chair tethered to helium balloons. And how about visiting that “city†in eastern Oregon with a year-round population of zero to two; depending on whether anyone gets trapped in the snow? Can it get any weirder than this!

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Women and history.By Valerie PeeryGreat read. It reinforced my belief in women AND history. I am a midwife; dedicated to women and their transitions in life ; such as motherhood; grandmother hood; and the journey from maiden to mother to matriarch to crone. I learned much. And it reinforced my beliefs and knowledge.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Laughed and learned a lotBy EmilyTBlitzThis never felt like a high school history book but I think it SHOULD be one! I loved it and have recommended it to many women. It jumps across time; across cultures and across disciplines but isn't choppy. It steadily frames just how amazing the history of womenkind is.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Better than the coverBy Ann DedenThe best feature of this book is the wide range of relatively unknown women whose stories are told. The book is very well researched; with vivid storytelling. A must read -- even a textbook -- as an introduction to women's studies at the college level.
