- Synopsis
- This book profiles a dozen women whose courage went beyond what the authors call the "usual, everyday" variety required in the early days of the American West. It includes US and Mexican women who provide differing views of the battle of the Alamo. The title stems from the story of Buffalo Soldier Cathy Williams, who served in the US military in the 1860s disguised as a man, but later wore a yellow ribbon to show pride in her gender.
