Is calamity Jane a hero or outlaw?

Answer 1

She did save Captain Egan but other than that she isn't really a hero. She's not really an outlaw either even though she sometimes rode a very thin line with the law. She is more a wonderful character in American History. She wore mens clothes at a time when that was unheard of, worked jobs that men usually worked and had a huge crush on Wild Bill Hickock. She was indeed a fascinating woman and today would probably be less enchanting just because a lot of what she did would seem fairly normal today.
