I look forward to reading it. <br /><br />Back in the day, church, charitable or benevolent clubs and societies were the limit of what was considered socially acceptable for female involvement in public or community affairs. But, they did serve as a powerful force for good, sometimes to the chagrin of the men. Although women have many more options for community service and governance today, the more people stay involved in those types of societies, the stronger our communities remain.<br /><br />Best wishes on success of your book--<br />Robyn Echols writing as Zina AbbottRobyn Echolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017977874430481013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705664943368006907.post-62898107545868912072014-12-30T05:15:27.387-08:002014-12-30T05:15:27.387-08:00Hello Linda, that is a very interesting and inform...Hello Linda, that is a very interesting and informative article about women clubs. I for one belong to many in my area of Ohio. It sounds like your book has a happy ending. I think Cooper is going to marry Delta, he just doesnt know it in the beginning. Who doesnt love a western romance. All the best with the book.

When they got the freedom to be involved in change, they took the bull by the horns. There was real need everywhere on the frontier. And that Delta named her women's club Women of Vision was so accurate. They were. These women were forward-thinkers.<br /><br />Wishing you a very Happy New Year!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705664943368006907.post-8853251860298289712014-12-29T12:58:17.983-08:002014-12-29T12:58:17.983-08:00Hi Margaret!

It deals with some serious issues that were pretty common back then. Women played such a huge role in settling the West. I doubt it would be too civilized today if the women hadn't taken a hand in its development. Delta wasn't one to sit around when she saw need.<br /><br />Wishing you much success with your new one!<br /><br />Happy New Year!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705664943368006907.post-25259451633356060472014-12-29T12:52:59.948-08:002014-12-29T12:52:59.948-08:00Hi Cheryl!

Women on the frontier craved for more than being a wife and mother. They wanted to make a difference and make people's lives better. They had so much to give and give they did. It was women who brought schools and libraries and, in many ways, civilization to the West.<br /><br />Wishing you a very Happy New Year!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705664943368006907.post-43947426677386975982014-12-29T09:09:26.467-08:002014-12-29T09:09:26.467-08:00Congratulations on the new book, Linda.,what a gre...Congratulations on the new book, Linda.,what a great excerpt!

Boy, talk about a woman with a vision and a backbone. If Cooper doesn't fall deeply and madly in love with her, I will be sorely disappointed in him. Of course, when it comes to strong heroes, it really takes a heap of a man to deal with a woman with gumption. If Cooper comes around, I will think him one of the best heroes out there.<br />I wish you every success and happiness.Sarah J.
