	Amazon.de: Calamity Jane: Her Life and Her Legend: English Books: Doris Faber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Calamity Jane was a larger-than-life six-gun-shooting frontierswoman, and Faber skillfully interweaves snippets from the life of the real woman with an exploration of the legend that grew up around her, nourished in large part by Ned Wheeler's dime novels.
		Grade 6-9-- Faber separates the facts from the myths about the life of Martha Jane Cannary, emphasizing that as Calamity Jane she was able to break away from the traditional female roles of the late 1800s.
		In spite of Faber's thesis that Jane was an early emancipated woman, the reality was that she was virtually ruled by her alcoholism and was frequently exploited by men.
