Eight Women, Two Model Ts, and the American West (Women in the West)

In 1924 eight young women drove across the American West in two Model T Fords.

In nine weeks they traveled more than nine thousand unpaved miles on an extended car-camping trip through six national parks,"without a man or a gun along." It was the era of the flapper, but this book tells the story of a group of farm girls who met while attending Iowa’s Teacher’ s College and who shared a "yen to see some things." A blend of oral and written history, adventure, memoir, and just plain heartfelt living, Eight Women is a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
