Description
A follow-as much as the highly successful Worth Their Salt, published in 1996, Worth Their Salt, Too brings together a new set of biographies of girls whose roles in Utah’s history have no longer been fully recognized, in spite of their significance to the social and cultural matrix, past and present, of the state. These women-community and government leaders, activists, artists, writers, scholars, politicians, and others-made necessary contributions to the state’s history and culture. A few of them had experiences that reveal new aspects of the state’s history, whilst others simply led lives so interesting that their stories beg to be informed. This new collection demonstrates, as Worth Their Salt did, the variety of Utah’s society and the various roles women have played in it.
