from Jennifer Worth's memoirs, about a group of midwives working in
East London in the 1950s. Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) gets her first
job at Nonnatus House which she soon realises is a nursing convent

patients, she gradually becomes accustomed to her new environment,
making friends with fellow midwives Cynthia (Bryony Hannah), Trixie
(Helen George) and the clumsy Chummy (Miranda Hart).
From her ranch home in Montana in the 1920s, Nettie Brady dreamed
of joining the rodeo circuit and becoming a star. Defying her
mother's wishes and trading her skirts for trousers--and riding the
range with her brothers and taking on the occasional half-ton steer
in local rodeos--Nettie bucked convention to compete with men in
the arena. When family hardship and tragedy threaten her plans, she
turns back toward a more traditional life as a ranch woman, but
chafes against its restrictions. Then she meets and falls in love
with a young neighbor who rides broncs and raises rodeo stock. Can
Nettie's rodeo dreams come true if she's also a wife and mother?
Based on the life of the author's grandmother, a real Montana
cowgirl, this novel takes on the big issues of a woman's place in
the west, the crushing difficulties of surviving on a homestead,
and the excitement and romance of a young girl aching to follow her
dream.

When someone says "Cowgirl Up " it means rise to the occasion,
don't give up, and do it all without whining or complaining. And
the cowgirls of the early twentieth century did it all, just like
the men, only wearing skirts and sometimes with a baby waiting
behind the chutes. Women learned to rope and ride out of necessity,
helping their fathers, brothers, and husbands with the ranch work.
But for some women, it went further than that. They caught the
fever of freedom, the thirst for adrenaline, and the thrill of
competition, and many started their rodeo careers as early as age
fourteen. From Alice and Margie Greenough of Red Lodge, whose
father told them "If you can't ride 'em, walk," to Jane Burnett
Smith of Gilt Edge who sneaked off to ride in rodeos at age eleven,
women made wide inroads into the masculine world of rodeo. Montana
boasts its share of women who "busted broncs" and broke ranks in
the macho world of rodeo during the early to mid-1900s. "Cowgirl Up
" is the history of these cowgirls, their courage, and their
accomplishments.
