Known to far fewer people was their whip-smart and well-educated sister Katharine, a suffragette and early feminist. After Wilbur passed away, Katharine lived with and took care of her increasingly reclusive brother Orville, who often turned to his more confident and supportive sister to help him through fame and fortune. But when Katharine became engaged to their mutual friend, Harry Haskell, Orville felt abandoned and betrayed. He smashed a pitcher of flowers against a wall and refused to attend the wedding or speak to Katharine or Harry. As the years went on, the siblings grew further and further apart. In The Wright Sister, Patty Dann wonderfully imagines the blossoming of Katharine, revealed in her 'Marriage Diary'--in which she emerges as a frank, vibrant, intellectually and socially engaged, sexually active woman coming into her own--and her one-sided correspondence with her estranged brother as she hopes to repair their fractured relationship. Even though she pictures 'Orv' throwing her letters away, Katharine cannot contain her joie de vivre, her love of married life, her strong advocacy of the suffragette cause, or her abiding affection for her stubborn sibling as she fondly recalls their shared life. An inspiring and poignant chronicle of feminism, family, and forgiveness, The Wright Sister is an unforgettable portrait of a woman, a sister of inventors, who found a way to reinvent herself."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Haskell, Katharine Wright, $d 1874-1929 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Wright, Orville, $d 1871-1948 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suffragists $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Feminists $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Letters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Diaries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 21 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710052032.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626010839.0 952 $l S3PA501 $d 20240624122257.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015345.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207021845.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011402.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013943.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020559.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024450.0 952 $l TOPB062 $d 20220503074216.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20220105014509.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713014305.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20210703010314.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011641.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20210326010448.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20210126010753.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20201208011228.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20200929012057.0 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20200919010058.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200918010108.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200902012326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE9C44AEECE311EA81C5C7DA34ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
