A League of Extraordinary Women and Their Adventures in the American Southwest
Ladies of the Canyons tells the true story of remarkable women who left behind the comforts of Victorian society for the high desert of the American Southwest. Educated, restless, and intrepid, figures like Natalie Curtis, Carol Stanley, Alice Klauber, and Mary Cabot Wheelwright were transformed by the region's people and landscapes in the early 20th century. Alongside visionaries such as Mabel Dodge Luhan, Mary Austin, and Willa Cather, they helped forge Santa Fe’s iconic art and literary colony—crossing paths with Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Henri, and Native leaders while defining a bold new identity for women during the emergence of the Modern Age.
