Publisher Description
This book is part of a series on historical female figures. It features Mary Lyon, an American educationalist born in 1797. She is best known for pioneering women's education and founding Mount Holyoke and Wheaton Colleges. These were the first all women seminaries devoted to the empowerment of young women and the creation of female leaders in a male-dominated world. In her words, when you choose your fields of labor go where nobody else is willing to go. Lyon continues to inspire women today and is still celebrated for her strength and determination in the field of women's emancipation.
