About this book

A Mine of Her Own: Women Prospectors in the American West, 1850-1950 by Zanjani, Sally. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780803249141.

From the California gold rush through the mid–twentieth century, a special breed of women played an integral and heretofore unrecognized part in some of the most stirring adventures of the pioneer experience: the saintly Nellie Cashman; the copper queen Ferminia Sarras, known for her grand sprees; the former rodeo champion turned prospector; the ex-actress who snowshoed her way to Nome; and many more. Chosen as one of the top ten books of all time by the Mining History Association, A Mine of Her Own tells the definitive story of Americas women prospectors for the first time.
