SHE FORGOT THER MANNERS AND GOT THE VOTE--THE PIONEERING LIFE OF ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY
Let's face it, even some of us who were born and raised in Portland weren't taught anything about the woman that Portland's Duniway Park and Duniway Elementary School were named after. I grew up a mile from Duniway Elementary and knew very little about the Oregon Trail pioneer and suffragist until our son Drew attended Duniway in the early 2000s. My mission is to ensure that this is not the case for the next generation of Oregonians!

PRESENTATION OF YOUR CHOICE
I'm happy to work with school principals, administrators, and teachers to create a unique author visit for your students. This might include a book reading, questions for the author, a book signing, and/or a reenactment of Abigail's life, with students performing from my original script (or their own script).
