Columnist and former Indiana Secretary of Commerce Michael S. Maurer presents 19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women, an anthology of biographical portraits of some of Indiana's best and brightest female citizens. From entrepreneurial philanthropist Christel DeHaan to golf sensation Nancy Shepherd Fitzgerald to Sandy Sasso, the second woman in the United States to become a rabbi, each of the talented individuals profiled has given her all to pursue her chosen passion. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrate this inspirational collection, especially recommended for school and public library collections.
