WANTED WOMEN: True Stories of Outlaw Women of the Wild West

They were accused, arrested, and erased—yet they never stopped riding.

In this gripping volume of historical nonfiction, Richard Fleischman uncovers the true stories of women who defied law and convention to become fugitives, rebels, and outlaws on the American frontier. From saloon shootouts to stagecoach heists, from the gallows to the open plains, these women lived outside the lines—and paid the price.

They carried revolvers under corsets. They stole horses, smuggled whiskey, ran brothels, and broke jail. Some were hardened criminals. Others were misjudged, framed, or punished for simply living on their own terms.

More than legends, they were real. And they were wanted.

Part of the acclaimed Forgotten Frontier series, Wanted Women reclaims the overlooked lives of 19th-century women whose crimes—real or imagined—became acts of resistance. Combining deep archival research with cinematic storytelling, this book offers a radical reappraisal of justice, gender, and power in the Wild West.
