Summary

Some things are worth doing—even when the cost is greatIn 1853, Abigail Scott was a nineteen-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 andmother. When Abigail becomes the primary breadwinner for her growing family, what she sees as a working womanappalls her—and prompts her to devote her life to fighting for the rights of women, including the right to vote.Based on a true story, Something Worth Doing will resonate with modern women who still grapple with the pullbetween career and family, finding their place in the public sphere, and dealing with frustrations and prejudices whencompeting in male-dominated spaces.
