Mysha, I agree, but I've read articles from the early 20th century at the time her gender was made public, and there were men who declared a woman could never have written in such detail about cowboys and ranch life.

Bower and other female writers of the time have become quite a topic in academic study of gender issues, as in "Gender and Genre: An Introduction to Women Writers of Formula Westerns, 1900-1950 by Norris Yates, The Western Historical Quarterly".
