Press Play with Madeleine Brand
"Certain Women" Annie Oakley, Belle Star and Calamity Jane are just a few of the women who helped create the legend of the Wild West. Meanwhile, however, thousands of others tamed the west on their farms and homesteads without firing a single bullet. Today’s western women don’t have to carry a six-shooter or get their water from a well, but that doesn’t mean their lives are easy. A new movie takes a look at four women in modern-day Montana. It stars Michelle Williams, Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart and newcomer Lily Gladstone and is based on stories by the Montana writer Maile Meloy. Madeleine speaks to the director.

But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There’s not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
