Betsy Mix Cowles (a champion of equality whose circle of acquaintances included Frederick Douglass, Abby Kelley, and William Lloyd Garrison) is a brilliant example of what an educated and independent woman can accomplish. A staunch defender of abolitionism, Cowles also took up the cause of women's rights and dedicated her life to the advocacy of women's access to education, equal rights, and independence in the pre-Civil War era. The life of this devoted social reformer illuminates the struggles and historical developments relating to abolitionism and the fledgling women's movement during one of the most contentious periods in American history.About the Lives of American Women series: Selected and edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin, these brief biographies are designed for use in undergraduate courses. Rather than a comprehensive approach, each biography focuses instead on a particular aspect of a woman's life that is emblematic of her time, or which made her a pivotal figure in the era. The emphasis is on a 'good read', featuring accessible writing and compelling narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship and academic integrity. Primary sources at the end of each biography reveal the subject's perspective in her own words. Study questions and an annotated bibliography support the student reader.

With clever rhymes and charming art, Betsy Ross is a celebration of American history and craft work.

Varied punctuation and simple contractions may be included. Level E books are suitable for early first graders. When Level E is mastered, follow up with Level F.
In 1973, Betsy Ann Plank became the first woman to chair the Public Relations Society of America in its twenty-five-year history. It was a tumultuous time to assume the national association’s leadership. Civil society seemed to be fraying at the edges, and trust in institutions and businesses had plummeted in the aftermath of Watergate. Yet Plank was ready to take on the task at hand. Throughout the span of her sixty-three-year career, she broke new ground on numerous occasions through her bold leadership and tireless service to others. Plank rose to the highest level of the field’s national association at a time when its leadership and membership were predominantly male. This book explores how she managed to navigate the very real barriers of gender-based discrimination that existed in public relations at least through the 1970s, and how she ultimately became devoted to public relations education.
Betsy Bonaparte – The Belle of Baltimore

Maryland Historical Society
2003

Baltimore's high-spirited, independent and controversial Betsy Patterson married Napoleon's brother Jerome in 1803, bore a son, and defied the angry Emperor. Originally published in France in 1988, this lively biography takes the reader into the intrigues in France and early 19th-century Baltimore.
Over the past 130 years, Elizabeth "Betsy" Patterson Bonaparte has inspired countless books, movies, articles, and fictionalized accounts. None captures the full measure of her fascinating life. The product of thirty years of study, Helen Jean Burn's life of Betsy Bonaparte surpasses its predecessors in scope, depth, and soul. Born in Baltimore to a wealthy family in 1785, Elizabeth Patterson shook local and Parisian society when she wed Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the Emperor Napoleon. Insisting on a better future for his brother, the emperor annulled the marriage, but not before it produced a son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte. Betsy's failed quest to win royal status for her son and grandsons consumed the remainder of her seventy-four years, decades that transformed her from the glamorous "belle of Baltimore" into a shrewd and successful businesswoman determined to protect her family.

But over time, she learns she is much smarter than she thinks, and everyone learns things in their own special way.Betsy Did It introduces the topic of dyslexia and how children can learn to read with the proper support. Author Patricia Prevosti used her personal experience as a reading specialist and mom to a child with dyslexia in creating this fictional story. Her goal is to allow teachers in classrooms around the world an opportunity to share that a story that demonstrates how we all learn differently. It should encourage children to not give up, but instead, to find a way to learn that fits their needs. The story also shows the effects of bullying and how similar situations can be handled.
