Book Description
These are the Texas Dames, women who sallied forth to run sprawling ranches, build towns, helm major banks and shape Lone Star history. These "Dames" broke gender and racial barriers in every facet of life. Some led the way as heroines, while others slid headlong into notoriety, but nearly all exhibited similar strands of courage and determination to wrest a country, a state and a region from the wilds. From Angelina of the Hasinai, interpreter for the Spanish, and sharpshooter Sally Scull to Dr. Claudia Potter, America's first female anesthesiologist, and Birdie Harwood, first female mayor in the United States, historian Carmen Goldthwaite has been profiling Texas women and their accomplishments in her popular "Texas Dames" column. Here are their stories, from early Tejas to the twentieth century.

Book Description
About TEXAS DAMES: Birdie Mae acquired The Hole - as it's called by the locals - when, at eighteen, she fell hopelessly in love with the handsome face on a WANTED POSTER. When the charismatic Ray Carl Emmons was executed in Huntsville he left Birdie Mae the bar and pregnant. Besides Birdie Mae, the cast of characters include: Wanda Kincade, beautician at Serenity Haven Funeral Home, whose abusive husband, Jimmy Earl Kincade, died in an auto accident the night she had decided to kill him. Eddy Easton, manager of The Hole, who is in an unhappy marriage to Birdie Mae's daughter Sugar Emmons, spends most nights at the No-Tell Motel trying to satisfy the sexually deprived and demandingWanda. Justin Timme, owner of Serenity Haven and the best looking and hottest man in Texhoma is married to AnnieTimme, the best looking and coldest woman in Texhoma. Venie Jackson, an elderly and lonely black woman Birdie Mae befriends and takes to Washington to hear Martin Luther King. Florence Olson, a virginal child bride when Wanda was conceived, she has never gotten over the brutal ineptness of her young soldier husband. Now delusional, she has nightly drinking bouts with the Blessed Virgin. Cookie Haskill, sister-confessor and owner of the Curl Up and Dye Beauty Parlor. Burt Miller, a meat-cutter whose wife disappeared with their two daughters, has a recurring nightmare of cutting her into recognizable meat parts. Marge Miller, close to death from breast cancer, returns to Texhoma and the one person she could always depend on - Burt Miller - who was not the father of her daughters. Sheriff Chester B. Goode, now married with a family of his own, was the teenage father of the wild child Margareta Gomez's (Marge Miller) daughters. I wrote TEXANA WOMEN out of the fondness for some of the characters that populated my mother's bar in Port Arthur, Texas during my childhood. To that array of misfits I was simply, "Eula's Boy!"
