Her Honor: Rosalie Wahl and the Minnesota Women's Movement

Her Honor: Rosalie Wahl and the Minnesota Women's Movement

While there is no single hero of the Minnesota women's movement, Rosalie Wahl, the first woman on the Minnesota Supreme Court, changed the way her fellow judges saw the cases they decided. A champion of both women's rights and civil rights, she brought new attention to the problems that faced women impoverished by divorce, women abused by their partners, and others who coped with poverty and discrimination. With sharp intelligence and hard work, Wahl herself had overcome childhood tragedy and a difficult marriage to become a defense attorney, a respected judge, and a mentor to many. As essential backdrop to Wahl's inspiring story, Lori Sturdevant charts the progress of the women's rights movement in Minnesota and showcases notable leaders on both sides of the aisle. Meet Arvonne Fraser and Emily Anne Staples, founders of the Minnesota Women's Political Caucus; Joan Growe, the first Minnesota woman elected to state office; and many more who paved the way for women's rights in Minnesota. Her Honor is both a powerful record of an era and a tribute to a humble leader. Lori Sturdevant, Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist, has written and edited several books of Minnesota history, including The Pillsburys of Minnesota.

USCongressman Martin Sabo's early work in Minnesota state government set the moldfor how state legislatures across the country have operated since, andcontinues to wield influence today. Known best as the former USRepresentative of Minnesota's Fifth District, with twenty-eight years ofservice including leadership roles on key committees, Martin Sabo also madesignificant contributions to American political life earlier in his career, while serving in the Minnesota state legislature. Minnesota has longbeen acknowledged as the state that works. Its government has been celebrated, if occasionally contested, and has been emulated by other states for decades.But today's modern, professional state legislature was not inevitable. In thelate 1960s-early 1970s Minnesota took a giant step toward a state governmentthat fairly represents all the state's regions and populations, one thatoperates in public view. It was a government that shouldered increasedresponsibility for the education and well-being of its citizens. And it servedas an operational model for legislatures around the country. At the center ofthose changes was a modest young man from tiny Alkabo, North Dakota, MartinOlav Sabo. Sabo demonstrated an understanding of representative democracy and aquality of leadership that made him a highly effective catalyst for positivechange. He spent his entire adult life in public service, but it was during hisyears as DFL minority leader and as speaker of the Minnesota House that he didhis most transformative and enduring work--remaking legislatures for the better.In Martin Sabo, award-winner author Lori Sturdevant transports readersto the farm and the city, to the campaign trail and the capitol, and to therooms where so many things happened. Enhancing Sabo's richlegacy, this volume focuses attention on his early career and the systemic, foundational contributions to governance his efforts accomplished.

The sheltered, comfortable, liberal upbringing undergone by Lori in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago in the United States did not prepare her for marriage into the difficult and quirky working-class family of her husband, Jerry-or for the sweeping societal and social changes of the last quarter of the 20th century.Lori deals with relationships between family and friends, divorce, alcoholism, infidelity, homosexuality, the judicial system, the Holocaust, and financial booms and busts. Most importantly, it deals with cancer from the points of view of both the victim and the survivors.Lori's seemingly perfect suburban world is in constant peril. Fortunately, her lifelong best friend, Adele, is there every step of the way to provide support and advice-until Adele faces her own tragedy. When separated from Adele by thousands of miles, Lori also finds she can count on her new friend, Rain-an ex-flower-child with a surprising connection to Lori's past that holds the key to Lori's future.Lori is the story of a woman gaining strength she never knew she could achieve and of victory over adversity.

A new family. Two dads. Surprises. Forgiveness.When I was eight years old, mum and aunt Jen took me to meet my dad. Logan Drake was just a name, a few pictures and some stories that my mum told me at bedtime. I knew my mum was sick, she never hid it from me and I knew, even though she did try to cushion the reality, that she wasn't going to be with me for much longer. That's why she went to talk to my dad. Moving out to Drake Wines wasn't as hard as I was expecting. I had an instant family, Aunts, uncles, cousins and not one but two dads who loved me unconditionally. Missing my mum didn't hurt as much with them around. The letters started on my tenth birthday. By my eighteenth I didn't want them anymore. On my wedding I learned to appreciate every single one of them. 'Love Mum', became something that I looked forward to. LORI'S MEMORIES is the second novella in the Drake Wines Novella Series and should be read after WINERY. It's a love story of a different kind, no steam or romance but still full of love and hope. This is the story of a mother's love for her daughter and the letters she leaves for her to read on special occasions. DRAKE WINES SERIES IN READING ORDER: VINEYARD Book .1.
