Trade Review
"The female figures presented here represent far more than a mere reversal of stereotypes. Perhaps because of the immense cultural chasm they crossed, these individuals were not simply women with a touch of 'gold fever,' but unique and even enigmatic characters... An entrancing read."-Bloomsbury Review Bloomsbury Review "A Mine of Her Own proves we can still be surprised at the things women have done... Delightfully unexpected is the evidence of the charisma these enterprising women manifested, their frequent romantic liaisons and their propensity as they aged to choose young, strong husbands."-San Francisco Chronicle San Francisco Chronicle
