Entertaining and historically interesting September 12, 1998

Each chapter is a short story on things a woman hunter had to endure (from her male counterparts) in the 1930s and 40s. The tales are amusing and often very funny. Fran frequently had to prove she was as good as the men, and sometimes outdid them. An extreme example: at a game farm men were trying to spear rats that were eating the birds' feed. With her bare hands Fran caught and killed more rats than all the men. Most stories are much more tame; e.g., duck and sharptail grouse hunting. If your female partner reads this before she hunts, you might assure her things aren't quite so bad in the 90s. Not quite. Fran Hamerstrom went on to become a world famous biologist who studied grouse, prairie chickens, hawks, owls, and eagles.
