    Arizonas women pioneers featured in Browns new book


    Ask Wynne Brown the best part about writing More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Arizona Women, recently published by Globe Pequot Press, and she answers: All those untold stories! The book is part of a national More Than Petticoats series that will eventually feature biographies of pioneer women from every state. Remarkable Arizona Women is the fifteenth to be produced. Each book showcases 10-15 womenwhich provided a challenge for Brown. By the time I was ready to write, I had a list of 130 remarkable women, she says. All of them were interesting, all were born before 1900, and all of them left some sort of legacy in Arizona. I narrowed the list by selecting women whose experiences illustrated different facets of our states history. For example, the story of photographer Carmen Lee Ban highlights the often-forgotten contribution of the Chinese in Arizona. The work of Sister Fidelia McMahon, designer of Tucsons first surgical suite, also traces the evolution of Arizonas health care. The experiences of Lozen, warrior and medicine woman, provides an insight to the Apache way of life, while the story of Elizabeth Smith, a black hotelier and entrepreneur in Wickenburg, tells a wrenching narrative about civil rights. Most of the women Brown chose are not well-known, although she says she couldnt resist including stagecoach robber Pearl Hart or Sharlot Hall, Arizonas first territorial historian. Brown, an award-winning science/feature/sportswriter, holds masters degrees from the University of Arizona and the University of Tennessee. Her work has appeared in national periodicals as well as in numerous books. She moved to Tucson in 2000 after spending 20 years in Knoxville, where she was a scientific illustrator, university instructor, and journalist. Brown served as president of ETSPJ when she lived here.
