Overview
This inspiring tale of grit and determination sprinkled with humor, wit, and a taste of irony is the story of Winifred Bryan Horner's journey from a life of domesticity on the family farm after World War II to becoming an Endowed Professor. Her compelling story is one of a woman's fight for equal rights and her ultimate success at a time when women were openly deemed "less than" men in the professional world.
Praise
“This book is a labor of love and a must-read by Horner’s mentee and friend, Elaine Lawless. Readers will come away feeling like they’ve come to know Horner just enough to wish that they, too, had been her mentee and friend.”
—Ann Farrell, Jour of Research Review
“Win's story is one that will inspire and resonate with women as they continue to work toward equality in the world.”
—University of South Wales Educator, online reader
