Obviously some of these “beauties” have not photographed well. Either that or our beauty standards are different. I do know that grooming and manners, clear skin,teeth and good hair went a long way to add to someone’s beauty. Or there was a low proportion of available women to men in early colonial/western society - so those available = beautiful. No one would admit to paying for an “unattractive” woman…. Does anyone else think Belle Starr looks like a man? I think she may have been a cross dresser, she has a hint of an Adam’s Apple.
Belle Starr is in my family tree through marriage to Sam Starr - no one ever spoke of her being a cross dressing man & I have serious doubts that she was I think she was just very rough & definitely not physically beautiful but she did have two children.
Documentaries are part of as well books... if not for women of the west alot of men would not be so famous... the fact that women helped build this country is never going to be valued. Yes men built this country but women helped fund their work.
So many of these women got rich off the backs of other women. Prostitution was big business in the old West and many profited from the exploitation of women, including other prostitutes. I think it’s rather sad actually. What happened to them when they fell pregnant? Instead of praising them for their beauty, they’re praised for their intelligence and commercial and business sense, and occasionally for their charity.
Women particularly in the Old West had almost no choices when it came to making money for themselves. They could marry and be completely dependent on their husband's. IF a woman wanted to be independent or at least try, there were very few choices. Possibly a school teacher, a seamstress, a nurse or doctors assistant. I do not know what women were paid but I am certain it was very meager. If a woman was really on her own and needed to make money to literally stay alive, yes, out in the Old West, there were plenty of men and yes, they were very eager to find a pretty woman. So brothels became very popular.
This was a fantastic video. Thanks for all of your efforts in producing this.
Groovy documentary. Quite informative and entertaining. A lot of cool and exciting women.

Women were scarce in the Old West. Historians measure their presence as few as 1 woman for 40 men.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Lourd très lourd…

Two of these “women” were definitely cross dressers. Some were very beautiful.

Please work on pauses/pausing. You are talking too fast. Impressed with content. 💜
Lola Montez had a modest 'mansion' in Grass Valley, CA!
The woman with the dark curly hair at 11:30 was Lottie Collins, the "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Yay" girl.
The woman in the picture at 10:00 is Anna Held, the lover of Ziegfeld of The Ziegfeld Follies. She lived her life in Eastern US cities.
