Daughter of Daring: Hollywood Cowgirl Stunt Women
“Writing books about show business is truly difficult. The research is enormous, and you have to find a topic that hasn’t been done to death. What Chris Enss has accomplished with DAUGHTERS OF DARING is remarkable: she has honored the great, many of them unjustly unknown, stuntwomen of the first movies ever made. Tracing their histories from Wild West Shows to the earliest silent films and beyond, Chris Enss has shone a much-deserved light on the great careers of expert sharpshooter May Lillie, serial queen Ruth Roland, and even included the tragic end of actress Mary Wiggins, among many others.
“These were the ladies who could ride, shoot, and rodeo without fear, and have been unfairly ignored for more than a hundred years. Until now.
“THE DAUGHTERS OF DARING were entertaining audiences when show business traveled in tents from town to town, and then found themselves in the new medium of the movies. Chris Enss’ amazingly researched, and highly readable, record of their lives brings them the attention and applause they’ve so richly deserved for so long.”
