These are the stories of twelve women who "heard the call" to settle the west and who came from all points of the globe to begin their journey: the East Coast, Europe, and as far away as New Zealand. They endured unimaginable hardships just to get to their destination and then the next phase of the story begins. These are gripping miniature dramas of good-hearted women, selfless providers, courageous immigrants and migrants, and women with skills too innumerable to list. All the women in this book did extraordinary things.

Hidden amongst the photographs, uniforms, revolvers, and war medals of the Civil War are the remarkable stories of some of the most unlikely heroes - women. North, South, black, white, Native American, immigrant - the women in these micro-drama biographies are wives, mothers, sisters, and friends whose purposes ranged from supporting husbands and sons during wartime to counseling President Lincoln on strategy, from tending to the wounded on the battlefield to spiriting away slaves through the Underground Railroad, from donning a uniform and fighting unrecognized alongside the men to working as spies for either side.

Marianne Monson was born on September 12, 1975, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. She is a daughter of Dwight E. Monson, a business consultant, and Marilynn Monson, maiden name Allred, a homemaker. At the age of six, Monson wrote in her journal that she wanted to become a writer.
Marianne Monson wrote her first historical fiction novel when she was 14. The book wasn't great, but that process of researching helped Monson realize how much she loved to research and how it could pair with her love of writing. She attended Lewis & Clark College. Marianne Monson earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with honors from Brigham Young University in 1998, and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
In 1997-2000, Marianne Monson worked as a managing editor at Beyond Words Publishing. In 1999, she became a freelance editor and author. In 2000, Monson became a children's literature teacher at Portland Community College. She said her editing experience was invaluable to her writing. Now she teaches at Clatsop Community College in Astoria, Oregon.
Marianne Monson has published books for both children and adults and focuses on issues women have faced in history, especially in the frontier era. Her first two books for children are compilations of advice from American girls ranging from ages ten to seventeen. Reviewers noted that the topics extend from the superficial, such as tips on hosting a successful slumber party or redecorating your bedroom, to more serious advice on how to cope with loss. In writing for children, Monson tries to create books that she wanted to read when she was a child. Girls Know Best Two & Three affirms that a person can become a published author at a very young age. Finding Fairies is the book that Monson and her best friend always wanted to own. Marianne Monson wants to give life to books that help children feel powerful and know they can make their dreams come true.
Marianne Monson's latest work, a historical novel Her Quiet Revolution, follows the life of Martha Hughes Cannon, a frontier doctor, and the first female state senator. Cannon was a prolific writer, with a degree in oratory and theater, and wrote many letters, so Monson was able to use the letters to pull together her story. She also used newspaper articles. Monson traveled to Salt Lake City, where Cannon lived, during her research and looked through her notebook from medical school. The unpublished work offered a feast of information about Cannon. Quotes from the notebook start each chapter in the novel. As part of her research process, Monson traveled to Wales and visited the small seaside town of Llandudno, where Cannon was born. Though Cannon and her family left Wales after they joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Cannon later returned with her daughter after being put in exile. She was found practicing polygamy, which was illegal. She fled federal agents and arrest by moving back to Wales. While there, she went on a journey through southern Wales. Monson retraced that journey while doing her research. She said she was able to see "incredibly beautiful places" and find a connection with Cannon's history.

Quotations: "The best parts of being a writer are pretty obvious. I still think the very best thing is hearing from readers, especially kids who say they loved it, or were touched by it, or it helped them in some way. It's this incredible communication that is intimate with someone you’ve never met in real life. It's magical to me."
Marianne Monson married Keith B. Burton, a computer analyst, on June 22, 1996. Now she is married to Andrew Behnke. She has a son, Nathanael Monson-Burton, and one more child.
