More Than Orange Blossoms: Feisty, Fabulous Females of Florida presented by Carrie Sue Ayvar
Though not always in the history books, women who helped build, form, shape, and develop the state have inspired hope and possibility. Stories of strong, courageous women like Julia Tuttle, known as the Mother of Miami, or Mary McLeod Bethune, daughter of enslaved parents who went on to become an advisor to several US presidents, and other brave women who influenced and impacted their communities, Florida, and the nation.
