Reviews
"With prodigious research and agile prose, Lael Morgan charts the lives and fortunes of women and men who seized their best chance in the cribs, brothels, dance halls, and boxing rings of Montana's frontier. Prepare for a rollicking read." -- Mary Murphy , Montana State University, "Lael Morgan has a nuanced understanding of the frontier women who lived in the red-light zone. Her stories are poignant, sometimes hilarious, and always compassionate." — Ann Maxwell , New York Times best-selling author (as Elizabeth Lowell and A.E. Maxwell), One of the 10 best non-fiction books of 1998." -LA Times on Good Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush, One of the 10 best non-fiction books of 1998." —LA Times on Good Time Girls of the Alaska--Yukon Gold Rush, "Lael Morgan has a nuanced understanding of the frontier women who lived in the red-light zone. Her stories are poignant, sometimes hilarious, and always compassionate." -- Ann Maxwell , New York Times best-selling author (as Elizabeth Lowell and A.E. Maxwell), "Morgan's subject, improperly treated, could easily devolve into a lascivious catalog, but she has an important larger point: The independence of these women inspired the independence of women who did not engage in the sex trade, and it's no accident that women had the right to vote and served in political office well before they did in other parts of the country. A useful addition to Western Americana and women's studies." -- Kirkus, "Morgan's subject, improperly treated, could easily devolve into a lascivious catalog, but she has an important larger point: The independence of these women inspired the independence of women who did not engage in the sex trade, and it's no accident that women had the right to vote and served in political office well before they did in other parts of the country.

Synopsis
From the time of the gold rush to the election of the first woman to the U.S. Congress, Wanton West brings to life the women of the West's wildest region: Montana, famous for its lawlessness, boomtowns, and America s largest red-light districts. Prostitutes and entrepreneurs--like Chicago Joe, Madame Mustache, and Highkickerflocked to Montana to make their own money, gamble, drink, and raise hell just like men. Moralists wrote them off as soiled doves, yet a surprising number prospered, flaunting their freedom and banking ten times more than their respectable sisters. A lively read providing new insights into women s struggle for equality, Wanton West is a refreshingly objective exploration of a freewheeling society and a re-creation of an unforgettable era in history.
