Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

Added DiffLines:
[[http://www.amystewart.com/books/girl-waits-with-gun/ Girl Waits With Gun]] is a story closely based on the life of Constance Kopp, the first woman to become a Deputy Sheriff in America. The book describes the case that brought her to the Sheriff's attention in the first place.
Three sisters, living alone on a farm, are travelling into town one day when their carriage is hit and destroyed by a DrunkDriver, who turns out to be a powerful businessman. Subjected to a campaign of intimidation, they refuse to back down and insist on pursuing a claim for damages.
Pieced together from news clippings, letters and interviews with one character's living son, the book is notable for the author's efforts to [[ShownTheirWork cite sources]] and to admit which parts she made up.
The title itself was a headline from the Philadelphia Sun.
!! This novel provides examples of:
* AllMenAreRapists: Averted. Finding out their mother was wrong to believe this is part of Constance's CharacterDevelopment, from her early state of fighting off the people who want to check if Fleurette has a broken leg after the crash.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The author's notes state that she changed the date of Constance's mother's death and made up both the Lucy Blake subplot and the pigeons.
* BadassMustache: Sheriff Bob Heath
* BerserkButton: Kaufman's is being stood up to.
* BigSisterInstinct: The main event that gets the sisters into trouble is when Kaufman implies a threat to harm Fleurette, the youngest of the three, if they persist in trying to get him to pay damages. Constance responds by [[spoiler: slamming his head into the wall hard enough to damage both. Only later in the book do we discover this to be [[MamaBear a different trope]] at work.]]
* DirtyCoward: Kaufman is only ever brave with bigger stronger friends around him.
* DrunkDriver: Kaufman is drunk when he crashes into the sisters' carriage.
* [[spoiler: FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Fleurette, the youngest sister, is actually Constance's daughter. She doesn't know.]]
* GentleGiant: Constance is occasionally described as being big and imposing. She has no desire to make anybody's life difficult.
* ShownTheirWork: The book contains references and lists of which details are fictional. There is more on the author's [[http://www.amystewart.com/characters/ website]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Anyone outside the family who tries to spell Fleurette's name ends up writing Florette.
* UnskilledButStrong: Constance is a large farmgirl and is only seen to fight men of relatively average strength, who she mostly pushes and/or holds.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The Lucy Blake subplot is fictional, though things like that did happen.
* WeaponForIntimidation: Sheriff Heath gives the sisters guns but insists they not shoot anybody, since in the dark it might be a deputy. Shots fired at the treeline work well enough to scare people away.
* WindowPain: Or brick-mail as Fleurette refers to it.
