More than Petticoats: Remarkable Indiana Women profiles the lives of ten of the Hoosier state's most important historical figures. With enduring strength and vibrant, pioneering spirit, these remarkable women, each in their separate fields, helped build 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 was a writer whose environmentally-aware novels sold millions of copies in her lifetime and Madam C.J. Walker, philanthropist and entrepreneur, was, at the time of her death, the wealthiest African-American woman in the country. Each of these women, all born before 1900, worked against the sentiments of the day to break down the social and cultural barriers erected against their success. Read about their extraordinary lives in this captivating collection of biographies.

It takes people of all kinds to shape a place. Abolitionists. Trade unionists. Artists. Scientists. Soldiers. Explorers. Traders. Crusaders. Senators. Designers. Michigan had all of these�and all of them, in this book at least, were women. Written for young adults, Bold Women in Michigan History tells the stories of thirteen extraordinary women. Long before the existence of high-tech weatherproof gear, Madame de Cadillac paddled a canoe across two great lakes to help her husband found Detroit. Magdelaine LaFramboise grew rich as a fur trader. Disguised as a man, Emma Edmonds fought for two years in the Civil War. Lucy Thurman, Waunetta Dominic, and Delia Villegas Vorhauer fought other battles�for rights and social justice for their families and communities. Myra Wolfgang, the �Battling Belle of Detroit,� picketed and struck. Sippie Wallace sang�and lived�the blues. And Pearl Kendrick and Grace Eldering labored over a vaccine that would save millions of lives. The DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) shot is still used today. Perfect for school, recreational reading, and the history shelf, Bold Women in Michigan History is a resource for kids and adults who like good stories about real people who made a difference
