From Natalia Shelikhova, unofficially the first woman governor of Russian Alaska, to the pioneer Iditarod racer Mary Shields, the eleven women portrayed in this engaging book were indeed bold�breaking down barriers of sexism, racism, and political opposition to emerge as heroines of their time. The fourth in Mountain Press�s state-by-state series for teen readers, Bold Women in Alaska History reveals the feminine side of our northernmost state�s storied past. Among the fear-less femmes we meet are Mary Antisarlook, the Reindeer Queen of Sinrock; Elizabeth Peratrovich, an early crusader for Native Alaskan civil rights; and Thelma Buchholdt, the first female Filipino American to serve in the Alaska legislature.
Perfect for school or home, this collection of short but informative biographies is both a valuable resource and an entertaining read.
