"Well-behaved women seldom make history." —Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Many aweinspiring women have changed the course of history. From fighting for social justice and women''s rights to discovering and shaping our country, women have left a lasting mark on our past, present, and future. But it''s not easy to affect change, and these women didn''t always play by the rules to make a difference! Kathleen Krull blends history and humor in this delightful young biography series.
Mary Todd Lincoln''s determined spirit made her one of the most memorable First Ladies. She was witty and highly educated, although that wasn''t popular for women of her time. Though born and raised in the South, she opposed slavery and supported her husband''s quest to save the Union. No matter what criticism or hardship she faced, including her husband''s assassination, she remained loyal to her country.
