Author Description

In this book we see how building a career in education served as a leverage for six women to live their lives as agents of change. By profiling women as educational activists this book challenges historical interpretations that have cast women as passive in the face of educational change. The six women you meet in this book are: Jane Addams, Ida B. Wells, Elizabeth Almira Allen, Marion Thompson Wright, Helen Hefferman, Corinne Seeds.
