Washington History: Women Who Impacted the Northwest



I have found that my classroom history text could use more biographical information, especially the history of Washington women leaders. “Bold Spirit” is one of my favorite stories. Author Linda Hunt explains Helga Estby’s 1896 “walk across America.” What motivated Helga to walk across the country? Did she make it to the end? The rest of the details can be found in this book.  Helga’s journey was taken before “Racing the Planet,” “Survivor,” and “Dual Survivor" became popular.
