About this audiobook
Pennsylvania, the author argues, has a list of famous women it always repeats. Henry W. Shoemaker thinks the list leaves out the best ones. In this address to the Daughters of the American Revolution in Bellefonte, he tells the stories of lesser-known women: Mary Jemison, who chose to stay with the Seneca; Regina Hartman; Molly Pitcher; Peggy Marteeny; Mary Wolford; and the mother of Abraham Lincoln.
Shoemaker gave this talk in 1922. His point is plain: courage does not depend on wealth or rank. Margaret Hnat reads it in twenty-five minutes.
