Marriage meant giving up on teaching, but Abigail always believed she was meant to be more than a good wife and mother. When financial mistakes and an injury force Ben to stop working, Abigail becomes the primary breadwinner for her growing family. What she sees as a working woman appalls her, and she devotes her life to fighting for the rights of women, including their right to vote. Following Abigail as she bears six children, runs a millinery and a private school, helps on the farm, writes novels, gives speeches, and eventually runs a newspaper supporting women's suffrage, Something Worth Doing explores issues that will resonate strongly with modern women: the pull between career and family, finding one's place in the public sphere, and dealing with frustrations and prejudices women encounter when they compete in male-dominated spaces. Based on a true story of a pioneer for women's rights from award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick will inspire you to believe that some things are worth doing - even when the cost is great."--Provided by publisher. 650 $a Women $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Women's rights $x Fiction. 650 $a Newspapers $x Fiction. 650 $a Women $x Fiction. 650 $a Newspapers 650 $a Women 650 $a Women $x Suffrage 650 $a Women's rights 655 $a Christian fiction. 655 $a Biographical fiction. 655 $a Historical fiction. 651 $a West (U.S.) $x Fiction. 651 $a West United States 650 $a FICTION / Christian / Historical 941 $a 2 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20210724010150.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20201023010134.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=026588F014F511EB9DD2C86D56ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
