Dorothy “Louise” Beasley – Dreambuilder Coach & Author of the Voices From The Prairies: The Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary Ranch Women

Dorothy is born and bred as a livestock rancher’s daughter, then cattle rancher’s wife, mother of 4 children who were born and raised on a ranch. She learned to cook when she got married, as before that she was her dad’s helper with the farm machinery, cattle and sheep. She has been married to the same man for 48 years, and now has 10 amazing grandchildren, along with all her children and their partners helping on the ranches too. She learned to cook when she got married and has cooked for many ranch crews throughout the 48 years on the ranches. The purpose of writing this book about ranch women is to give those women a voice, as up until recently women have been active participants on the livestock ranches, but not always been classed as valuable, worthy, good enough to be partners on the ranch with their husbands. They were told in the past that speaking about themselves in a positive light would be called “bragging about themselves” and they were only “ordinary women”, the same as everyone else. These co-authors demonstrate the extraordinary values and determination to make a go of the ranches they live and work on, become spokeswomen advocates for the land, the rural communities, the families and for the continuity of livestock ranching as a healthy and worthwhile lifestyle. Women deserve to be seen and heard, listened to and valued as equal partners on these livestock ranches.
