Jane Kirkpatrick gives us the story of suffragist Abigail Scott Duniway in her new release, Something Worth Doing. Beginning with the Scott family's trek across the rugged northwest to their new home in Oregon in 1852, Kirkpatrick weaves a colorful tapestry of the toils and trials of Abigail's young life which bring her to the point of action in the suffragist movement. From her early days of editorial writing through the process of building a school, millinery, and newspaper to advance the causes of women, the author walks the reader through all the emotional toil Abigail Duniway invested to improve the conditions in which women lived in her time, with a great goal of improving conditions for generations to come.
Something Worth Doing is an excellent choice for the historical fiction fan who is interested in the suffragist movement. I appreciate the way Jane Kirkpatrick highlighted this influential historical figure and filled in the gaps between the information we have. Though Abigail's grit was her driving force, I appreciate the way the author includes the great support given by her husband, children, and others who were dedicated to the cause.
Something Worth Doing by Jane Kirkpatrick is available now from your favorite bookseller.
