Synopsis "Petticoats, Politics, & Pirouettes: Oklahoma Women, 1900-1950 (in English)"
Oklahomans in petticoats have excelled and have been recognized all over the world for their outstanding achievements. Petticoats, Politics, and Pirouettes is a collection of stories of Oklahoma women from 1900 to 1910, and their amazing accomplishments. Included are women prominent in politics, such as Alice Robertson, Chief Alice Brown Davis, and Perle Mesta. Others were active in civil rights, such as Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher; and, in the arts, such as the Five Indian Ballerinas, story teller Te Ata, artist Augusta Metcalfe, writer/historian Angie Debo, and show girls Ruby Darby and Mignon Laird. Read the exciting stories of Oklahoma's first Miss America, Norma Smallwood, or of World War I prisoner of war Rosemary Hogan, and early day female dentist Theresa Hunt Tyler. Wonder at the mysterious Lyde Marland, or outlaw "Ma" Barker, or oil-wealthy Jane Phillips. Learn about the Harvey Girls, and Seminole's legendary "Granny" Fern McFarland.
