Guest Speaker Dr. Heidi Osselaer

Our May speaker was Dr. Heidi Osselaer, a women's studies professor at ASU, who has written a book, Winning Their Place: Arizona Women in Politics, 1883-1950. (Read review at amazon.com)

Dr. Osselaer is shown on the left standing next to League member, Linda Cathey.

In AZ, women have always had a voice and a vote. Dr. Osselaer's stories sure peaked my interest in reading more about these remarkable women who were married, had families as well as being effective legislators.
