{"product_id":"wild-women-of-boston-dina-vargo-9781540212450","title":"Wild Women of Boston: Mettle and Moxie in the Hub","description":"The sons of liberty are celebrated in the rebellious history of Boston--but what of their sisters? An audacious and determined procession of reformers, socialites, criminals and madams made the city what it is today. One hundred years before Rosa Parks, African American abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond refused to give up her seat while attending a play in Boston. Fiery activists Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall led a boycott against bird plumage in ladies' dress and brought the fashion industry to its knees. Rachel Wall was the last woman to be hanged in Massachusetts after leading a daring life as a robber and pirate. Later, women like Boston Marathon runner Kathrine Switzer also blazed their own trails. Author Dina Vargo unearths the remarkable stories of the wild women of the Hub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dina Vargo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540212459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540212450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Dina Vargo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067325804799,"sku":"9781540212450","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_993db37b-e1db-4a78-beeb-218d2e988eab.jpg?v=1685412556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wild-women-of-boston-dina-vargo-9781540212450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
