Produktbeschreibung
During the twentieth century, New Mexico women of diverse ethnicities, backgrounds, beliefs, and persuasions have distinguished themselves in wide-ranging fields of interests and attainment. Groundbreaking women in New Mexico have included scientists, explorers, educators, entertainers, healers, politicians, activists, artists, musicians, and writers. Names like Mary Austin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Willa Cather spring readily to mind. Lesser-known names such as Frances Nunnery or Ida Jackson have equally compelling stories. Jenny Vincent performed with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and was still entertaining fellow retirement home residents at age 102. Agnes Martin's paintings sold for millions as she entered her nineties. Who could resist her stricture to "live life as a verb, not as a noun?"
Autorenporträt
Ron Hamm has enjoyed four careers over a sixty-year working span: as a newspaper and wire service journalist, as a public relations practitioner, as a college teacher working around the globe from Haiti to Argentina, and most recently as an author. Like Cecil Emery, he enjoys telling stories, especially about that most fascinating of all creatures-mankind. The more complex his subject the better he enjoys telling of them. His most recent biography, Ross Calvin: Interpreter of the American Southwest, certainly fit that bill. Hamm's most challenging project to date has been New Mexico Heroines of the Twentieth Century: Role Models for Today. He is also the author of New Mexico Territorial Era Caricatures. All three are available from Sunstone Press.
