About BADASS BUFFALO BABES

Buffalo has no shortage of remarkable women. You’d never know it from the local history shelf.

After years of coming up empty at bookstores and libraries, I decided to write the stories myself. These posts celebrate the women who lived, worked, and made their mark in the Buffalo area — the highlights, the achievements, the moments worth remembering.

This isn’t a genealogy project or an academic archive. Just good stories about women who deserve to be known.
