This was a Book Club choice about a woman in the #wildwildwest who disguised herself as a man and worked as a stage coach driver. Based on a true story. #heatofjuly

BarbaraBB This sounds like an amusing read! 6y

DivineDiana @BarbaraBB It is based on a true story,but I never thought of it as amusing. More like sad, desperate and unusual. (edited) 6y

BarbaraBB @DivineDiana O I must have interpreted it wrong, sorry! 6y

BarbaraBB I did now and you are definitely right! 😘 6y

so-so

I really was fascinated by the true story parts of this book, what disappointed me was the patchy fictional sections, trying to add romance and drama to the story. It just felt choppy and disjointed. Charley Parkhurst‘s story is fascinating though, definitely read the additional material at the end!

Charlotte(Charley)Parkhurst led a life filled with tragedy. Yet, she was able to have a successful career as a stage coach driver, (known as a whip) by disguising herself as a man. Ironically, this ruse allowed Charley to be the first woman to vote in the US. It is a historical fiction story that attempts to explain the whys of her choice.
