Ladies for Liberty: Women Who Made a Difference in American History
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, May 30, for Memorial Day.
From Anne Hutchinson, whose doctrinal disputes with the Puritan clergy led to her expulsion from colonial Massachusetts, to Rosa Parks, who became a Civil Rights icon by refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus, women have helped shape the American experience.
In his book Ladies for Liberty author and economist John Blundell looks to the lives of these individuals to refute the idea that women desire and benefit from big government. His portrayals emphasize self-determination as a virtue and a belief that individuals should be allowed to pursue their own ends free of coercion.
