Crazy Woman Creek: Women Rewrite the American West Paperback - 2004
by Linda M. Hasselstrom; Gaydell Collier; Nancy Curtis
Long troubled by the misguided images of skinny cowgirls on prancing palominos, the editors embarked on a mission to set the record straight by encouraging western women to reveal the reality of their lives in their own prose and poetry.
Summary
Crazy Woman Creek is a collection of prose and poetry about real women in the West and their connection to a larger whole. Long troubled by the misguided images of skinny cowgirls on prancing palominos, the editors embarked on a mission to set the record straight. They wanted these western women to reveal the realities of their lives in their own words.
In Crazy Woman Creek, 153 women west of the Mississippi write of the ways they shape and sustain their communities. Whether these groups are organized, imposed, or spontaneous, this collection shows that where women gather, anything is possible. Readers will encounter Buddhists in Nebraska, Hutterites in South Dakota, rodeo moms rather than soccer moms. A woman chooses horse work over housework; neighbors pull together to fight a raging wildfire; a woman rides a donkey across Colorado to raise money after the tragedy at Columbine. Women recall harmony found at a drugstore, at a powwow, in a sewing circle. Lively, heartfelt, urgent, enduring, Crazy Woman Creek celebrates community connections built or strengthened by women that unveil a new West.

First line
Moved by some natural rhythm, they gravitate in midmorning or midafternoon toward one home, these busy women who believe that banana bread and coffee are the basic ingredients for communion in South Dakota, where women hold together families, neighborhoods, communities, and each other with food.
