V roce 1905 se Ethel Waxham, mlad\u00e1 \u017eena \u010derstv\u011b po ukon\u010den\u00ed Wellesley College s titulem z klasick\u00e9 literatury, vydala na \u017eivotn\u00ed cestu, aby u\u010dila v jednot\u0159\u00eddn\u00ed \u0161kole ve Wyomingu. Jej\u00ed zku\u0161enosti v drsn\u00e9m prost\u0159ed\u00ed divok\u00e9ho z\u00e1padu formovaly jej\u00ed \u017eivot a inspirovaly knihu jej\u00ed vnu\u010dky \u201eLady’s Choice\u201c.<\/p>\n\n
