B. M. Bower 
Starr, of the Desert 

Woman Hero! Around 1900 Bower started to write about the wild west – and she was one of a few women writers that ‚wrote like a man‘ and fooled most of her readers at the time. But she knew what she was writing about, and grew up in the west, listened to all the tales, and wrote with a passion about the life, the men, the women, and the harsh conditions of the time. Not afraid to write about the violent times she is one of the best western writers ever, that this book is one of her finest books and boasts a great story that will be loved by men and women – as a woman is the hero in Starr.
