Description
For centuries, Kentucky has been home to some amazing women: from Mary Edwards Walker, a Civil War surgeon and the nation's only female Medal of Honor winner, to Sophia Alcorn, who created a way for those who were deaf and blind to communicate. Martha Layne Collins was Kentucky's first and only woman governor, and Georgia Davis Powers was the first African American and first woman elected to the Kentucky Senate. Then there's Margaret Ingels, the second woman in the nation to become an engineer, and Rose Will Monroe, the real "Rosie, the riveter" of World War II.
From scientists to engineers, activists, politicians, writers, actors, and more, Bluegrass Bold celebrates 36 Kentucky women who helped improve the state and the world beyond. Portraits by Kentucky woman artists accompany each profile.
Be inspired. Be bold. Be you.
