Description

By the time Anna Howard Shaw was barely 12 years old, she had crossed the stormy Atlantic (1-1/2 times), survived a grueling journey from Massachusetts to the unexplored woods of Michigan, & helped create a house & home in the middle of nowhere. By most measures, her life was hard & filled with struggle. But a life in the North American wilderness also had many pleasures. Anna had youth, happiness, & strength. What she didn’t have was school. With incredible fortitude & purpose, not only did Anna go on to teach school herself, she also accomplished a great many other things, incl. helping to win the right to vote for women. “Magical storytelling & radiant artwork.” “The pioneer life of a most extraordinary woman.” Illustrations.
