Outlawed by Anna North

This alternative history novel is set in an America in 1849 where female infertility is against the law. (It doesn't feel too far from reality, to be honest.) Ada, 17, flees after one year of marriage has not produced a child; she joins up with the Hole in the Wall Gang, a gang of female outlaws. The publisher describes Outlaws as The Crucible meets True Grit. It's a gripping feminist Western.

Outlawed is among Brittany Bunzey's thirteen top wilderness novels, Claudia Cravens's eleven westerns that break the genre's rules, Robin McLean's eight top books about surviving in the wilderness and Christina Sweeney-Baird's seven books that imagine a world without men.
