Triumphs of a Herd's Girl: Madam Leah's Life Against All Odds
()
About this ebook
That girl grew up to be Madam Leah, a respected teacher and primary school headmistress. She would have eight children—five girls—and ensure that the seven who survived infancy all received college educations. She would cofound local women's organizations, educate needy children, and leave the world a better place.
This is Madam Leah's story, as told by her oldest daughter. It's the story of a girl whose age, gender, and even height stood between her and the education she sought, and the determination with which she overcame every obstacle in her path. Education is a precious gift—especially when you fight for it every step of the way.
