"In Winthrop, Washington, a small mountain community that has reinvented itself as a western theme town, a group of women who work as ranchers, trail guides, horse trainers, and packers have found themselves in a contradictory environment where they have to preserve gender stereotypes for the sake of the tourist-based economy yet must assume the same authority and expertise as their male counterparts. How these "wrangling women" accomplish this challenging balancing act is a fascinating study of women's subversion and manipulation of humor, language, and gender stereotypes in the modern West."--BOOK JACKET.
