Learning From the Past, Providing Hope For The Future
What if Eleanor Roosevelt and Abigail Adams could sit down some afternoon, tell you firsthand about their girlhoods, talk about everything from politics and fashion to romance, and maybe even surprise you with a few things your history teachers left out? Or Sojourner Truth, Josephine Baker and Bessie Coleman stopped by and reminisced about with their amazing life stories, their undying courage, their sense of self and adventure, and their ability to persevere, pray, and sometimes even laugh in the face of impossible odds? Or Amelia Earhart, Hedda Hopper, Mae West and Calamity Jane all showed up to give you the inside scoop about what it means to be a woman with a mind of her own, daring to make a difference... no matter the risk, public opinion, or personal cost? Find out with Women In History!
