In 1853, Abigail Scott was a 19-year-old school teacher in Oregon
Territory when she married Ben Duniway. Marriage meant giving up on
teaching, but Abigail always believed she was meant to be more than
a good wife and mother. When financial mistakes and an injury force
Ben to stop working, Abigail becomes the primary breadwinner for
her growing family. What she sees as a working woman appalls her,
and she devotes her life to fighting for the rights of women,
including their right to vote. Following 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, Something Worth Doing explores issues
that will resonate strongly with modern women: the pull between
career and family, finding one's place in the public sphere, and
dealing with frustrations and prejudices women encounter when they
compete in male-dominated spaces. Based on a true story of a
pioneer for women's rights from award-winning author Jane
Kirkpatrick will inspire you to believe that some things are worth
doing--even when the cost is great.
