Description
Discover Maryland’s legacy of daring women who made their mark on history as spies, would-be queens and fiery suffragettes.
Maryland’s history is punctuated by women who refused to be forgotten. Sarah Wilson escaped indentured servitude in Frederick by impersonating the queen’s sister. In Cumberland, Sallie Pollock smuggled letters for top Confederate officials. Baltimore journalist Marguerite Harrison snuck into Russia to report conditions there after World War I. From famous figures like Harriet Tubman to unsung heroines like “”Lady Law”” Violet Hill Whyte, author Lauren R. Silberman introduces Maryland’s most tenacious and adventurous women.
