Join me this week to hear about this eccentric woman who preferred the company of dogs over people. Over her life, she rescued over 600 dogs who had been abandoned, saying that she was only "a Yorkshire lass that has the guts left to love the unwanted." Believe me when I tell you that she was so much more.

Come with me to Alaska this week to learn about the amazing woman who was instrumental to the Alaska Territorial Legislature passing the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945... the first anti-discrimination law to be passed in the United States.
She was called a "Fighter in Velvet Gloves" because she was was tough, but kind. Wicked smart, but approachable. Territorial Governor Gruening said that Elizabeth's intelligence was obvious, her composure faultless, and her plea could not have been more effective.
I hope that you love learning about her as much as I did.

Sarah Winnemucca spent most of her life advocating for her people, known now as the Northern Paiute people. She wrote letters, organized petitions and tried to learn the ways of the white settlers to find common ground. When all of those efforts still didn't bring fairness to her people, she traveled the country, telling their stories to the world.

Join me to learn about the life of this colorful feminist trailblazer... the first woman to ever have her name appear on a Presidential Ballot. Victoria had a lot to say... first, for the spirits of the deceased. Next, for women like herself who had no legal protection after divorce. Finally, during her presidential campaign... where her platform included women's suffrage, regulation of monopolies, abolition of the death penalty, and welfare for the poor. We don't know how many votes she received on election day, but we can appreciate the fact that she made the first crack in the door that has kept women out of the Presidency of the United States.

Women are capable, powerful, and brilliant. Period. Or should I say, even WITH their periods. Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi was a fierce advocate for women's education and used her medical training (which she fought to have access to) to scientifically PROVE that women who were menstruating were just as capable as men.
