They Persisted

by Margaret M Kirk, Laura J Martin (Editor)

They Persisted is a testament to the unconquerable spirit of the feminine. The lives of the women outlined in this book are a touchstone to our powerful roots that remind us of the courage, indomitable sprit, and bravery of the women that came before us. The women are a mix of race, color, class, cultures, and endeavors but are women that dared, and they turned their adversities and fury at injustice into sparks that fueled lifetimes of work. They were bold, unstoppable, and unknown. Some were suffragists, physicians, lawyers, activists, reformers, photographers, entrepreneurs, authors, bad ass stage coach drivers, inventors and engineers, and more. They Persisted lifts them from the obscure archival shelves, where they have become fossilized and dusty, and breathes new life into them.
