Strong women, strong lives: 15 women who changed Martha's Vineyard
The genesis for this book was suggested by my Marketeer, Dani McGrath of History Press. She thought the topic would resonate with Vineyarders and beyond. It was an intriguing project to pull together, involving a good deal of research and interviews with relatives of the women. Some women, such as Lillian Hellman and Patricia Neal, are nationally known. Others made their mark locally, such as Polly Hill, Dionis Riggs and Helen Lamb. It's a fun book to talk about.
