| A Mind of Her Own A Mind of Her Own: Helen Connor Laird and Family 1888-1982 captures the public achievement and private pain of a remarkable Wisconsin woman and her family, whose interests and influence extended well beyond the borders of the state. Spanning almost a century, the history speaks to the way we were and are: a stridently materialistic nation with a deep and persistent spiritual component. Helen Laird is author of Carl Oscar Borg and the Magic Region: Artists of the American West. She lives in Marshfield, Wisconsin, and serves on the Wisconsin Historical Society's Board of Curators. |
