More than Petticoats: Remarkable Illinois Women profiles the lives of twelve spirited women born in the nineteenth century, all of whom possessed a unique courage, incredible stamina, and a sense of purpose forever giving them a place in Illinois history. Meet Anna Elizabeth Slough who journeyed to Illinois when it was considered part of the untamed "Far West" and later ran her own hotel in Peoria; Myra Bradwell who championed better working conditions and bravely paved the way for labour regulation; and Jane Addams, the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize, who spent her entire adult life educating and caring for Chicago's poor and downtrodden. Each of these women demonstrated courage, compassion, and an independence of spirit that is as inspiring now as it was then. Read about their extraordinary lives in this collection of brief and absorbing biographies. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
