About this book
This is a short biography of Mary Mayo, covering her work with rural farm women in Michigan and beyond in the last quarter of the 19th century. She used the Grange (the Patrons of Husbandry) farmers' organization to reach women on farms and in the countryside, who often lived isolated lives, having little contact with social organizations active in cities and towns. She promoted education for women and cooperative work on a range of other issues and objectives to improve the lives of rural women and children. - Summary by Ted Lienhart
