(3) YA African-American entrepreneur Bridget "Biddy" Mason, entertainer Lotta Crabtree, and Susan LaFlesche Picotte, the first Native American woman to receive a medical degree, are among those profiled in this collective biography. Examining the varied roles women played in the nineteenth-century western expansion, the smoothly written text is accompanied by occasional black-and-white photos of the subjects.
