Remarkable Washington Women - Paperback

Reviser Christy Karras comes from a long line of stubborn women who crossed oceans, married good men, toiled on farms, and generally did whatever it took to help their descendants thrive in the Beehive State. Born and raised in northern Utah, she graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in history. A former reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune and the Associated Press and editor for Wasatch Journal magazine, she writes about arts, culture, history, travel, and recreation for publications including the Seattle Times. Her other books include Scenic Driving: Utah as well as two motorcycle touring guides coauthored with Stephen Zusy. Now living in Seattle with her husband, Bill, she returns frequently to visit her beloved family, friends, and desert-mountain landscape in Utah.

Northwest native L.E. Bragg is the author of several books for young readers, as well as Remarkable Washington Women. She lives in the Greater-Seattle area.
