Using informal language and humorous watercolor illustrations, this account of Esther Morris, activist for women's suffrage and first female Justice of the Peace in the Wyoming territory, brings a lively tone to a straightforward historical description. Wooldridge includes many frontier anecdotes related to the 1869 decision to grant women the vote. Bib.
