I enjoy reading NM history, but this book didn't capture my attention. The accounts are boring relative to other NM historical events, stories, and biographies. The background on the women (provided for each woman at the beginning of each chapter) were much more detailed and interesting than the specific stories provided. It's the only NM history book I've put back on the paperbackswap bookshelf. I knew I'd never reference it again.
