Nothing exists outside of those relationships. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR hear author Robin Willians, author of Hawkmoon, discuss the roles of women in the Frontier West. Were they oppressed in the 19th century? How? How did the west shape women and were they ultimately better for the experience? What about Mattie Ross in True Grit - was her portrayal accurate? The truth about prostitution in the West. Women who broke the molds. How are women better off or not from frontier days.
