Great book in that it combines little known historical info about women pioneers that the author turns into ideas which inspire positive thinking/actions. Definately a good gift for a girlfriend, woman business colleague & a guy who thought only the cowboys ruled the West!

2too shallow for me  Jan 18, 2008
From the cover, with the great art work.... I perceived this as a more in depth look at cowgirls of the old west. I felt like the stories on the cowgirls could have been googled for a school paper. The stories were very short and skipped across the surface of the ladies lives without any rich detail that would have made the book a much better read. I felt the comments of the writer about what to take from each of these stories to apply to your lifestyle today to be silly and boring. From her viewpoint, that is fine.... but I felt like someone was preaching to me and I didn't feel any connection to that person or why I should even continue to read. I finally just skipped over the preachy life lesson part and read the cowgirl stories before I'd fall asleep at night. And believe me, it didn't take long (to fall asleep).

3Like the Cowgirl Facts  Jan 18, 2008
I saw it in Sundance Catalog, am from TX and thought it would be fun to get for a gal pal as a mini Christmas gift. She is going through a major career change at 45, so I ordered a couple of copies. I was surprised it was such a mini sized book. The stories about the cowgirls are quite interesting. The writing is a bit cliche, more suited for a younger audience going through early changes, not so much for an "older hand" like me. Light, Enjoyable.

1One Star   Nov 24, 2007
The true stories are too brief and the "Lessons Learned" after each bit is ridiculous. Any woman with half a life's worth of experience doens't need this. The stories are so simple that you'd have to be incredibly lame not to be able to draw any worthwhile parallel's yourself. Great title but the whole thing is very lite and it's a tiny booklet, not a book.

4Cowgirls' inspiring lives  May 02, 2007
Using the lives of western women who made a difference in their own lives and that of others, the author provides brief biographical sketches and relates those lives to her typology of self improvement. It's an interesting approach and serves well to exemplify how ordinary folks provide the substance of history.
