Bold Women in Nevada History<\/a>
\nby Kay Moore (Author)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> From Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, a Paiute who worked as an interpreter, to Mary Fulstone, a rural doctor who traveled through heat, snow, and mud to deliver more than 4,000 babies during her career, to Felice Cohn, who became the fourth female attorney to practice law before the US Supreme Court, the fourteen women featured in this collection broke down barriers of sexism, racism, and political oppression to emerge as heroines of their own time.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> The Denver Post<\/em> newspaper helped Velma’s cause when it sent Robert O’Brien to interview her and write an article that was published in Reader’s Digest<\/em> in January 1958. “The Mustangs’ Last Stand” sold ten million copies a month, and thiryy-eight million people in the United States and around the world read about Velma. O’Brien introduced her as, “The most tireless, outspoken friend the mustangs ever had is Mrs. Velma B. Johnston. . . . She stands five foot six in her high-heeled riding boots and weighs a spunky 108 pounds. But her diminutive size has not kept her from waging a bitter battle for the country’s mustangs–so bitter in fact, that friends and opponents now refer to her as ‘Wild Horse Annie.'” <\/p>\n
