In a program the whole family will enjoy, Missoula author Beth Judy will highlight stories of mothers and grandmothers from her new book Bold Women in Montana History. From the Blackfeet warrior Running Eagle to the bronc-riding Greenough sisters, Alice and Marge, the eleven women portrayed in this engaging book were indeed bold--breaking down barriers of sexism, racism, and political opposition to emerge as heroines of their time. In honor of Mother's Day, Judy will discuss the range of relationships between the book's subjects and their mothers and daughters, then focus on two special stories: Crow medicine woman Pretty Shield and her daughters and granddaughter, Alma Hogan Snell, and Great Falls librarian Alma Smith Jacobs and the amazing story of her mother, Lucille Smith. Additionally, special quilts from the Museum's collection will be on display to accompany Judy's talk.
