Called to Courage

Four Women in Missouri History

By: Margot Ford McMillen,Heather Roberson

While there are many accessible biographies of important Missouri men, there are few such biographies of Missouri women, which might suggest that they did not count in history. This book, written by a mother-and-daughter team, helps to correct that misconception by tracing the lives of four women who played important roles in their eras. These women were exceptional because they had the courage to make the best of their abilities, forging trails and breaking the barriers that separated women's spheres from those of men. Using Missouri and Illinois archives, Margot Ford McMillen and Heather Roberson describe the lives of both women and men, showing how roles changed as Missouri and America matured. This book will be welcomed by anyone interested in women's history or Missouri history. Book jacket.

The Golden Lane

How Missouri Women Gained the Vote and Changed History

By: Margot McMillen

The powerful story of the women who stood up for their right to vote in early twentieth-century Missouri—includes photos. It was June 14, 1916, a warm, sticky Wednesday morning. The Democratic Convention would soon meet in St. Louis. Inside the Jefferson Hotel, the men ate breakfast and met with their committees. Outside the hotel, thousands of women quietly took their places along both sides of Locust Street. They stood shoulder to shoulder, each one in a dress that brushed the pavement, shading herself with a yellow parasol and wearing a yellow sash that said “Votes for Women.” The all-male delegations may not have had a comfortable walk down the Golden Lane—but they were moved to add women’s suffrage to the national platform. In this book, Margot McMillen tells the story of this fight for a right too often taken for granted and the part that Missouri women played in it.

Farming, Food, and Politics in the Heartland

Including Recipes

By: Margot Ford McMillen

The farmer's voice and history is left out of most food discussions, including the debate and policy-making that goes on in our state and national capitols. McMillen explores, with a farmer's point-of-view, the decisions being made on a global scale that affect what you can buy at the store, including the quality and the price.
