About The Books

books

Christy is the author of More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Women of Utah, published in spring 2010 by Globe Pequot Press. The book is a reader-friendly look at Utah history through short, entertaining biographies of some of its most interesting women. The book tells the stories of twelve strong and determined women who broke through the social, cultural, and political barriers of the day. They include Emmeline B. Wells (1828–1921), suffragist, president of the Relief Society, and editor of the Women’s Exponent; and Reva Beck Bosone (1895–1983), Utah Congresswoman and the state’s first female judge; and the Bassett sisters, who hung around with Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in women’s stories or Utah history.
