The book that tells OUR story, the story of our League and its history of good works, will be published in the spring of 2019--just in time to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Orange County League of Women Voters.
WARRIORS FOR DEMOCRACY
is an illustrated, full-color book filled with inspiring stories about how a small group of determined Central Florida women banded together to empower voters in their community and state. Their mission: to defend their families by defending democracy. These women and their descendants, with some special men, confronted some of the most pivotal issues of their times. They endured and transcended ridicule and misogyny. They challenged injustice and waste, sometimes working across many generations before they tasted success. They would not give up! Their stories inform and inspire us today.
"This is a tremendous book...an exciting read that documents over and over again how dedicated individuals working together have improved government and policies in the Sunshine State." Dr. Aubrey Jewett
