Here is one of my favorites from the archives.
So…you’ve probably heard of Abigail Adams, Georgia O’Keeffe, Annie Oakley and Eleanor Roosevelt. But what about the female mathematician who laid the groundwork for abstract algebra. Or the women of NASA who helped send John Glenn, the first American astronaut, into orbit.
From artists and writers to doctors, scientists and activists—Jill S. Tietjen’s Her Story is a beautifully illustrated book that spans more than four centuries and celebrates the many accomplishments of more than 900 unsung heroines of American history.
Tietjen is a sought-after speaker and has co-authored Duty Calls (along with Dr. Antonia Novello, the first female and the first Hispanic U.S. Surgeon General), and Over, Under, Around and Through: How Hall of Famers Surmount Obstacles, co-authored with Elinor Miller Greenberg, EdD.
