A 1916 advertisement for a Wyoming librarian says, “Must be able to get along with Western people, ride and drive, as well as pack a horse, follow a trail, shoot strait [sic], run an automobile, and be able to rough it whenever necessary!” That spirit is still alive, captured in this film celebrating the women and girls of Wyoming in thirteen vibrant stories. A discussion with the filmmakers follows screening. Presented as part of the Environmental Film Festival. (56 minutes, 2008)
Sponsors: National Museum of American History and National Portrait Gallery
