出版社周刊评论
The 125 short essays and poems in this compelling anthology were written by residents of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming. These High Plains womensome of whom have been published beforeare ranchers, farmers, teachers, veterinarians, mail carriers and trappers. They describe their hard physical work, the weather, the isolation, their marriages, their families, their animals and, above all, their love of the land and fierce determination to hold on to their way of life. The pieceshumorous, poignant, candid, outspokencarry a clear message: these tough women possess "the power and the dignity that comes from strife and experience and teeth-grinding faith." The editors, who solicited the writings because they want to "change old stereotypes" and "show the world [the] real women we know," all lead literary lives as well. Hasselstrom is the author of A Roadside History of South Dakota; Collier has written several books on horsemanship; Curtis is the publisher of High Plains Press. (June) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Kirkus评论
Essays, stories, poems, and a few recipes by women from the High Plains. Some years ago memoirist Hasselstrom, librarian/horsewoman Collier, and publisher Curtis, residents of Wyoming, put out a call throughout the northern plains, asking for ""authentic"" and ""clear"" views of women's lives there. Their emphasis was particularly on the authentic: Protesting perhaps a little too much, they opine that the West has been popularized to the point where ""a New York stockbroker slips on pointy-toed boots in psychedelic colors to dine with a lady in a fringed skirt and mocassins,"" and real cowpokes are ashamed to be seen wearing cowboy hats for fear they'll be mistaken for these poseurs. They've turned up plenty of authentic work here. The collection suffers only from a predictable level of repetition, inasmuch as many of the 125 contributors (including teachers, housewives, cattle and sheep ranchers, and writers) turn to the same themes: the loneliness of ranch life, the smell of new-mown hay, the bitterness of an Alberta Clipper wind in the thick of winter. For all the sameness, though, many of the pieces--few by previously published writers--are very fine, among them Nellie Westerskow's remembrance of her first year of marriage, in 1921, when she and her husband were so poor they ""had to share the only fork until Nels found another at an abandoned homestead when he was out riding."" Garnet Perman's ""Evolution of a Country Woman"" is a good-natured enumeration of all the things that a ranch wife has to know (such as the fact that ""sheep have an IQ three points below that of wormwood""). Morgan Songi offers a lyrical account, noting that in the ""crystal mornings after an ice storm"" the beauty of the land makes up for the isolation of farm life. A fine example of regional anthologizing. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Diverse and vivid stories, memoirs, and poems make up these two high-spirited anthologies. Jo March, the star of Little Women and everyone's favorite tomboy, has been an inspiration and a comfort to young female readers for more than a century. But Louisa May Alcott assigned her the traditional "happy ending" of marriage and motherhood, leaving anthologist and essayist McEwen wondering about tomboys who didn't want to be reined in. She embarked on a quest for once-a-tomboy-always-a-tomboy tales and has put together an invigorating selection of prime examples, the work of 40 distinctive, indomitable, and unforgettable writers, from Willa Cather to Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Annie Dillard, Maxine Hong Kingston, Ursula K. Le Guin, Grace Paley, Toni Morrison, Sandra Cisneros, J. California Cooper, and Maria Hinojosa. McEwen's anthology is eye-catching by virtue of its alluring topic and the stature of its contributors. Leaning into the Wind is remarkable, too, for its subject: the stories of women who live close to the land on the Great Plains, on the prairies, and in the wide-open, wild, and much romanticized West. But instead of readily recognizable literary luminaries, the clever and creative editors (Linda Hasselstrom is a rancher and a writer; Gaydell Collier is a writer, rancher, and librarian; and Nancy Curtis runs High Plains Press and her ranch) invited 125 women of the West who work as ranchers, farmers, teachers, journalists, wildlife rangers, biologists, writers, postmasters, truck drivers, veterinarians, carpenters, and jacks-of-all-trades (or is it jills?) to contribute stories, essays, and poems about their experiences. All facets of life in the West are candidly examined in these engaging pieces and interpreted with wisdom, humor, conviction, and pride. --Donna Seaman
《图书馆杂志》(Library Journal )书评
The editors of this anthology spent several years collecting writings by women of the High Plains states: North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming. The final product contains the work of over 200 authors. Poems and short prose fragments are gathered into chapters by general themes, such as working with livestock or family life. This collection showcases the voices of a wide variety of women of the Plains, allowing them to share their visions and experiences of the American West. The writing is generally good, but a smaller number of longer pieces would have given individual authors a chance to express themselves more fully.
