Peggy O'Neill is the outdoor editor for the Helena Independent Record and a freelance writer in her spare time. When not writing about the outdoors, she is outside fly fishing, backcountry skiing, mountain biking ,and backpacking. She lives in Helena, Montana.
From Mavis Lorenz, septugenarian big-game hunter, to fly-casting expert Lori Ann Murphy, to Susan Eckert, founder of AdventureWomen--the women in this book are not only great outdoorswomen, they are women who blazed their own trails in activities formerly dominated by men.
