More than Petticoats: Remarkable Alaska Women profiles the lives of twelve spirited women born in the nineteenth century, all of whom expanded women?s roles by defying the social norms and prejudices of their time.
Meet ?Tillie? Paul Tamaree, the first Tlingit woman to be ordained an elder in the Synod of Alaska-Northwest; Nellie Neal Lawing, a trapper, hunter, and musher, who as legendary ?Alaska Nellie? entertained tourists in her Trophy Room; and Benzie Ola ?Rusty? Dow, the first woman to drive the Alcan Highway from Fairbanks to Dawson, delivering a load of cement in just seven days.
Each of these women?who arrived in territorial Alaska by birth, choice, or chance?demonstrated a remarkable determination and independence of spirit that continues to inspire new generations. Read about their extraordinary lives in this collection of brief and absorbing biographies.
