I am reviewing a copy of Something Worth Doing through Revell and Netgalley:
It was 1853 Abigail Scott was a nineteen year old school teacher in the Oregon Territory when she married Ben Duniway. The problem was marriage meant giving up on teaching, but Abigail always believed she was meant to be more than a good wife and mother. After financial mistakes as well as an injury force Ben to to stop working, Abigail becomes the primary breadwinner for her growing family. What Abigail sees as a working woman is appalling to her and she devotes her life to fighting for the rights of women, including their right to vote.
Something Worth Doing follows Abigail as she bears six children, runs a millinery and a private school, helps on the farm, writes novels, gives speeches, and eventually runs a newspaper supporting women's suffrage, this book explores issues that will resonate with Modern Women.
Jane Kirkpatrick weaves a novel based on the life of an early suffragist, who will will inspire you to believe that some things are worth doing--even when the cost is great.
I give Something Worth Doing five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
