Crazy Woman Creek（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　Crazy Woman Creek is a collection of prose and poetry about
real women in the West and their connection to a larger whole. Long
troubled by the misguided images of skinny cowgirls on prancing
palominos, the editors embarked on a mission to set the record
straight. They wanted these western women to reveal the realities
of their lives in their own words. In Crazy Woman Creek, 153 women
west of the Mississippi write of the ways they shape and sustain
their communities. Whether these groups are organized, imposed, or
spontaneous, this collection shows that where women gather,
anything is possible. Readers will encounter Buddhists in Nebraska,
Hutterites in South Dakota, rodeo moms rather than soccer moms. A
woman chooses horse work over housework; neighbors pull together to
fight a raging wildfire; a woman rides a donkey across Colorado to
raise money after the tragedy at Columbine. Women recall harmony
found at a drugstore, at a powwow, in a sewing circle. Lively,
heartfelt, urgent, enduring, Crazy Woman Creek celebrates community
— connections built or strengthened by women that unveil a new
West.
