THE BAD MAN’S TOWN—AND THE WOMEN WHO RAN IT

Discover how an all-women town government transformed a struggling town into a thriving community.

A humorous and fresh take on the history of the West.

Jackson, Wyoming, was a small town with a big reputation. Remote, rustic, and unruly, it was a notorious hideout for outlaws—a real bad-man’s town.

But in 1920, the people of Jackson wanted change. Tired of bad leadership, they elected an all-women government to clean up the town—sparking a frenzy of media attention across the country.

Working with their community, the women turned the bad man’s town around—and showed the nation that women leaders can get the job done.
