About
In the late eighteen hundreds when Shirks grandmother was a young person, womens choices were limited. Frances knew she was meant to be a nurse, but, being young and unmarried, society said no. Her friend Sally, granddaughter of slaves, knew she could be a great teacher, but there was little chance for her to get training. Reading this book in a group and then having a discussion about it takes courage. Its not easy to talk about race and gender issues.
