Marie was born a girl. That was only her first mistake, according
to her father.
In an era when daughters and wives are not supposed to be concerned
with matters outside the home, Marie is determined to prove him wrong. To do
this, she must break down barriers placed on women in society, overcome
difficulties that befall her, surpass hardships from the Great Depression, and
then face an inevitable relocation.
Marie steps into her community and into the hearts of many people
to give her time and help with their needs. She wants nothing in return other
than her father's acceptance as a worthy woman and yet, she gains much in
return, even if it is not her father's praise. This is Marie’s story—of a rise
from her girlhood angsts to become a leading lady—and much more.
This definitive biography is the empowering true story of one
trailblazing woman who, in the mid-1900s in small-town America, changed her
community and beyond for the better and forevermore.

It is a joy to share Marie Conner, A Leading Lady. Thank you, Mary Ann, for spotlighting this. Marie was a trailblazer in her day, long before our time -- among her extraordinary acts of compassion and care, you may like to know that she was even involved in the American Legion Auxiliary, helping wives and families whose husbands were away on military duty during the Second World War. I can't wait for you all to read her story!
