Mary easton sibley biography for kids

March is National Women&#;s History Month. Today, I&#;m celebrating the legacy of women in American History with a look at educator, Mary Easton Sibley.
If you&#;ve read my four Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek novels, you know I like to include real life women from my setting and time period as secondary characters in my stories. In Two Brides Too Many, it was Sister Mary Claver Coleman of the Sisters of Mercy. Too Brides Too Many featured Cripple Creek businesswoman, Mollie O&#;Bryan. Dr. Susan Anderson and Pearl DeVere served as fictionalized real life characters in The Bride Wore Blue. In Twice a Bride, mine owner, Mollie Kathleen Gortner, comes alongside the heroine, Willow Peterson.
While I don&#;t have Mary Easton Sibley &#;make an appearance&#; in The Quilted Heart novellas because she&#;d already returned to St. Louis by , I do reference her and part of her Missouri legacy, the Lindenwood Female College, now known as Lindenwood University.
