Reviews
It's not unusual these days to see women hunting deer or other big or small game. But, of course, it hasn't always been so. Czech, a history professor and antiquarian booksller from St. Cloud, writes about the early women who hunted big game, usually with their husbands and often on safaris in Africa. As Czech writes, the story of women as big-game hunters is virtually unknown. Until now., Many modern women rightly pride themselves on their savvy in the field. Yet this book, an enjoyable excursion down darkening roads into a past we have largely forgotten, reminds us that in some senses there is nothing new in the world., With Rifle and Petticoat is a not-to-be-missed read as you share adventures, misadventures and emotions of these intrepid women huners., After closing the back cover of With Rifle and Petticoat, hunters of this century will take pride inthe moxie of the women before them who blazed now forgotten trails into the sport of hunting., We had known from the very first that our men regarded the feminine part of our expedition very much in the light of an American dine show... Why talk to them of our experiences_ days with rhino, lion, leopard. It akways seems to me that when anything you have done in the past looms very large and splendid in your eyes, it argues that you have not accomplished much today., Amazingly, this book by Ken Czech is the first to deal specifically with woman as big game hunters and authors of big game hunting books. As you will see, their accomplishments in the hunting field have been substantial., After closing the back cover of With Rifle and Petticoat , hunters of this century will take pride inthe moxie of the women before them who blazed now forgotten trails into the sport of hunting.

Synopsis
Detailing specific time periods, regions hunted (Africa, Alaska, The Plains) and individual women, Kenneth Czech explores the interesting women who hunted a variety of big game animals around the world., The image that comes to mind when you think of big game hunters is of African safaris with men carrying enormous guns hunting exotic game. But there were women on those trips as well, and not just the trips to Africa, and they were often as successful at the hunt as the men. Women such as Lady Florence Dixie, Agnes Herbert, Osa Johnson, Grace Gallatin Seton, and Gladys Harriman hunted so well, they made names for themselves and wrote of their adventures. Divided into chapters detailing a specific time period, region hunted or individual woman, With Rifle and Petticoat explores the interesting women who hunted a variety of big game animals around the world.
