Book Description
'A Girl of the Plains Country' is one of Alice MacGowan's finest works. It is the story of a family who arrives by stagecoach to small town Mesquite. They have traveled all the way from New York - a little girl with dark curls, a woman wearing silk stockings and heels, and a man in a flannel shirt and jeans, carrying his young baby. They are the Van Brunt family. It is a sixty-mile trip to the Three Sorrows Ranch, and during that time, Hank Pearsall gets a chance to be acquainted with the family, especially young Hilda Van Brunt. She decides to call him 'Uncle Hank'. The family try to fit into their new surroundings on the plains, as they fix up beds, and cook steaks on the fire, and eat canned food. It is a much different experience for the family, than living in Denver, or New York. It is a place filled with ponies and horses, ranchers, and all sorts of fantastic things that Hilda had never experienced before. She quickly settles into her new life, eager to learn what she can about life on the ranch, as well as playing with her dolls on the sprawling plains. Alice MacGowan (1858-1947), was an American novelist who lived in Tennessee, and California. She co-authored more than thirty novels, a hundred short stories, and poetry, with her sister, Grace. She spent time at Upton Sinclair's Helicon Home Colony, before it burned down. She also spent time in the company of writers such as Jack London, Sinclair Lewis, and others while living at an artist's commune in Carmel-by-the-sea.

Book Description
In country music, the men might dominate the radio waves. But it’s women—like Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, and Kacey Musgraves—who are making history. This is the full and unbridled story of the past twenty years of country music seen through the lens of these trailblazers’ careers—their paths to stardom and their battles against a deeply embedded boys’ club, as well as their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place—as told by award-winning Nashville journalist Marissa R. Moss. For the women of country music, 1999 was an entirely different universe—a brief blip in time, when women like Shania Twain and the Chicks topped every chart and made country music a woman’s world. But the industry, which prefers its stars to be neutral, be obedient, and never rock the boat, had other plans. It wanted its women to “shut up and sing”—or else. In 2021, women are played on country radio as little as 10 percent of the time, but they’re still selling out arenas, as Kacey Musgraves does, and becoming infinitely bigger live draws than most of their male counterparts, creating massive pop crossover hits like Maren Morris’s “The Middle,” pushing the industry to confront its racial biases with Mickey Guyton’s “Black Like Me,” and winning heaps of Grammy nominations. Her Country is the story of how in the past two decades, country’s women fought back against systems designed to keep them down and created entirely new pathways to success. It’s the behind-the-scenes story of how women like Kacey, Mickey, Maren, Miranda Lambert, Rissi Palmer, Brandi Carlile, and many more have reinvented their place in an industry stacked against them. When the rules stopped working for these women, they threw them out, made their own, and took control—changing the genre forever, and for the better.
