Leading the Way: A Century of Service...and Beyond! - Paperback

by Teddy Hulse (Author), Jessie Hamm Meyer (Author)

For the past 120 years women of the GFWC Florida Federation of Women's Clubs have selflessly given their talents, energy, wisdom and time to the preservation of Florida's natural beauty and to the improvement of educational opportunities, health, and social conditions for all Floridians. Leading The Way describes their modest but bold beginnings in 1895 as they dared take on issues that were startlingly ambitious and almost brazen in a time when women had no vote, and it documents many -- but certainly not all -- the important contributions of Florida women who worked -- and continue to work -- together in the Florida Federation to improve the quality of life for all of us today and for generations to come.
