More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Indiana Women by Rachel J. Lapp and Anita K. Stalter
More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Indiana Women profiles the lives of ten of the Hoosier State's most important historical figures born before 1900. With enduring strength and compassion, these remarkable women, each in her separate field, helped built the proud history of America's nineteenth state.
Meet May Wright Sewall, a women's suffragist and lecturer often mentioned in the same breath with Susan B. Anthony; Gene Stratton Porter, a writer whose environmentally aware novels sold millions of copies in her lifetime; and Madam C.J. Walker, a philanthropist and entrepreneur who was, at the time of her death, the wealthiest African-American woman in the country.
Each of these women demonstrated an independence of spirit that is as inspiring now as it was then. Read about their extraordinary lives in this captivating collection of biographies.
