She's from Red Oak, IA born and raised. The daughter of a farmer, she was the intellectual in the family. She worked hard at her school work, read voraciously, and eventually became a teacher. A deep thinker with a keen sense of justice, she spent her later years as a Suffragette. Hope you're inspired! That's all I've got.
