Remarkable Women of the Finger Lakes (NY)

The majesty of New York’s Finger Lakes region has produced some equally incredible women who have left their mark on American history. Medical pioneers like Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor in America, and Anna Maxwell, the Medal of Honor–decorated “American Florence Nightingale,” forged new paths for women in medicine. Aviator Blanche Stuart Scott was nicknamed “Tomboy of the Air” and can make the claim as the first woman to pilot a plane in America. Silent film star Pearl White became known as the “Queen of the Serials,” even filming some work in the Finger Lakes. Author Julie Cummins reveals remarkable women of central New York’s Finger Lakes region. Paperback Book | 6 x 9 | 112 pages |
