Women in the Wild West were more than just wives and mothers. They often started their own businesses. Boarding houses, restaurants, house cleaners, bakeries, and tailor shops were common endeavors for women. Many women also made their living as teachers and nurses.

by Anna Kathryn Lanier Women of the West during the 1800’s had greater freedom and more opportunities as proprietors than their counter-parts in the East.
