Back Cover Copy
Clad in corsets and long skirts, living and working in intense heat and humidity, the fourteen early Florida women featured in this book established towns, ran businesses, wrote powerful stories, and worked to promote education, conservation, and tolerance.In More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Florida Women, you will discover Ruth Bryan Owen, Florida's first congresswoman; Anna Darrow, who worked as a doctor in Florida's remote backcountry; Marjory Stoneman Douglas, author and protector of the Everglades; Zora Neale Hurston, who gave all she had to be able to write; and Julia Tuttle, the 'mother of Miami.'Born before 1900, these fourteen women lived in Florida when it was still an untamed frontier. Read about their exceptional lives in this collection of absorbing biographies. (6 X 9, 192 pages, black and white photos)
Reader Reviews
The book is composed of brief, but detailed, vignettes of influential Florida women. Most overcame poverty, racism and illness to do great things, all in the name of helping their fellow man. It's inspiring to read, and give a unique picture of the early days of Florida. I recommend for anyone who is interested in a general overveiw of the role women played in the start of the Sunshine State.
