Event Overview
The stories of the American West are full of daring, grit, and unbreakable spirit — and the women at their heart are nothing short of extraordinary. On Wednesday, January 14, join us for a celebration of the lives and legacies of remarkable women whose courage, ingenuity, and resilience helped shape the frontier and beyond.
We’re honored to welcome Chris Enss, best-selling author of more than fifty books and a renowned chronicler of women’s history in the Old West. Enss’s work brings to light the lives of pioneers, healers, detectives, performers, and trailblazers — women whose stories are as fascinating as they are inspiring. From frontier physicians to legendary cowgirls and fearless leaders, she reveals how these women defied expectations and left a lasting legacy. Kensington Books Publishing
Settle in with cocktails and light bites at Friar Tuck’s as we explore the rich tapestry of women’s history and honor the voices that helped shape our world.
