Shaping the Public Good by Sue Armitage, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In this lively survey of women as history-makers, Sue Armitage explores the story of women's lives from the earliest inhabitants to yesterday's newest migrants, told within the larger framework of the changing Pacific Northwest - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Montana, and British Columbia. Showcasing both the variety and commonality of women's activities and values, Armitage provides an ongoing context for women's lives and shows how their activism on behalf of families and communities has made our regional history. Shaping the Public Good's narrative encompasses women of all races and ethnicities - the famous, the forgotten, and the women in between - and provides an accessible introduction for general readers and scholars alike. | Shaping the Public Good by Sue Armitage, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
