Remarkable Women of Indianapolis - by Ashley Petry Paperback

Book Synopsis

Celebrate the ingenious, pioneering, and creative women who made the Circle City what it is today.

From the settlers who held together a struggling city in the wilderness, to suffragist leaders, trailblazing educators, entrepreneurs, fierce community organizers, and pioneering athletes, there is no shortage of women who deserve credit for giving shape to Indianapolis. The women of Indianapolis founded local institutions like the Children's Museum and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. They were prominent philanthropists, writers, visual artists, musicians, and journalists. And many of these local women were unsung heroes, including the woman who single-handedly brought down the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana.

Join Ashley Petry on this ode to some of the most important women in city history.
