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.
