19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women

The 19 outstanding contemporary Hoosier women profiled by Michael S.
Maurer -- one for each star in the Indiana state flag -- are leaders and pioneers
who have excelled in a variety of pursuits, including law, business, philanthropy,
government, medicine, music, art, athletics, religion, and education. Among the
inspiring life stories are those of the first woman named chief judge of the U.S.
District Court in Indiana, the first to establish a Holocaust museum in the state,
and the first woman elected Indiana's lieutenant governor. Maurer also introduces
international golf and billiards champions, opera singers, a rabbi, the founders of
Vera Bradley Designs and For Bare Feet, and others. Many of these women led
heart-pounding lives. All worked hard, and with zeal, to achieve their dreams.
Indiana women of every generation will enjoy and appreciate their
stories.
