In 1853, Abigail Scott was a 19-year-old school teacher in Oregon Territory when she married Ben Duniway.
Based on a true story of a pioneer for women\'s rights from award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick will inspire you to believe that some things are Worth doing--even when the cost is great..
Following Abigail as she bears six children, runs a millinery and a private school, helps on the farm, writes novels, gives speeches, and eventually runs a newspaper supporting women\'s suffrage, Something Worth Doing explores issues that will resonate strongly with modern women: the pull between career and family, finding one\'s place in the public sphere, and dealing with frustrations and prejudices women encounter when they compete in male-dominated spaces.
What she sees as a working woman appalls her, and she devotes her life to fighting for the rights of women, including their right to vote.
When financial mistakes and an injury force Ben to stop working, Abigail becomes the primary breadwinner for her growing family.
Marriage meant giving up on teaching, but Abigail always believed she was meant to be more than a good wife and mother.
