Women of Sherborn
A Written Female History of the Town of Sherborn, MA by Emily Worcester
Thank you for visiting this E-Book website written by Emily Worcester. Beyond the biographies offered here, you will find interactive quizzes, my blog, a "Contact the Author" form, and much more! Enjoy! A culmination of 13 years of Girl Scout Service (and Bronze and Silver Awards), this historical project involved 100 hours of research, writing, outreach, publication, and media coverage. I hope you remember the stories you read here today and look to the Women of Sherborn for inspiration. |
