Bold Women in Indiana History

Informationen zum Autor Louise Hillery has lived most of her life in Indiana. After teaching students with special needs in the public schools, she taught mathematics at a community college and began a project to learn about the women of Indiana history, which resulted in this book. She is an active musician in her community of Columbus and a composer of music for the bassoon. She is most proud of her two sons and especially dotes on her two grandsons. Klappentext From Marie Bailly, the first settler in northwest Indiana, to the high-flying Margaret Ray Ringenberg, and from Mother Th?odore Gu?rin, a Catholic nun who was later canonized as a saint, to Vivian Carter, founder of a popular Gary record label, the women portrayed in Bold Women in Indiana History broke down barriers of sexism, racism, and political opposition to emerge as heroines of their time.
