Описание: While there is no single hero of the Minnesota womens movement, Rosalie Wahl, the first woman on the Minnesota Supreme Court, changed the way her fellow judges saw the cases they decided. A champion of both womens rights and civil rights, she brought new attention to the problems that faced women impoverished by divorce, women abused by their partners, and others who coped with poverty and discrimination. With sharp intelligence and hard work, Wahl herself had overcome childhood tragedy and a difficult marriage to become a defense attorney, a respected judge, and a mentor to many.

As essential backdrop to Wahls inspiring story, Lori Sturdevant charts the progress of the womens rights movement in Minnesota and showcases notable leaders on both sides of the aisle. Meet Arvonne Fraser and Emily Anne Staples, founders of the Minnesota Womens Political Caucus; Joan Growe, the first Minnesota woman elected to state office; and many more who paved the way for womens rights in Minnesota.

Her Honor is both a powerful record of an era and a tribute to a humble leader.

Lori Sturdevant, Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist, has written and edited several books of Minnesota history, including The Pillsburys of Minnesota.
