Photo Essay by Pat O’Bryan W hat I find unique and interesting about Terlingua are the people, especially, the women. Big Bend is a hard and unfor- giving land and the women here give lie to any notion of “the weaker sex.” I asked several Terlingua women to allow me to photograph them as they worked. All of them have the strong character and determina- tion of spirit which is needed to make an independent life here in the West Texas Desert. 16 Cenizo First Quarter 2018
