"Well-behaved women seldom make history." -Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Many awe-inspiring women have changed the course of history. From
fighting for social justice and women's rights to discovering and
shaping our amazing country, women have left an indelible mark on our
past, present, and future. But it's not easy to affect change, and these
women didn't always play by the rules to make a difference! Kathleen
Krull blends history and humor in this accessible young biography
series.
Dolley Madison had a strong will and unique personality that made her
one of the most memorable First Ladies. From hosting parties for
Washington D.C.'s social and political elite to saving a portrait of
George Washington before the British burned down the White House in the
War of 1812, Dolley did it all!
