"Stagecoach Mary" aka Mary Fields transcended the traditional gender boundaries for women of the 1800s. She neither married nor depended on the support of the church. Handy with a gun, she smoked, drank, and swore and took a “man’s job” delivering mail in Montana earning the nickname “Stagecoach Mary” for her reliability and speed. #maryfields #stagecoachmary #stagecoachmaryfields #womenshistorymonth #strongwomen #history #dailyhistory #dailyhistorypics #dailyvintagepics #vintagehistoricalpics #historicalspeakingpics #vintagepics #knowyourhistory #didyouknow #historicalfacts #dailyhistoricalfacts #historyisfun #historynerd #historygeek #blastfromthepast #theworldbackthen #funfacts #dailyhistorypost
