Product Description
It was a moment of serendipity while Margaret O'Rourke Kelly was working on her own campaign for a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives, that she discovered the archival records of Dora Hall Stockman, the first woman to hold elected state office in Michigan. This began her fascination with this often overlooked historical figure but through Hall Stockman's plays, stories, poetry, songs and overwhelming contributions to the agricultural community, she has created an intriguing biography of a strong, patriotic woman of God, often ahead of her time, who overcame the constraints of her life and times to make a lasting contribution to American society.

Extraordinary Woman of her time August 4, 2008
Dora Stockman lived her incredible life in Michigan to the fullest. She was a devoted wife, mother, farmer, business woman, politician, actress, author and more. She cared deeply about her community and it showed in the work she did both for the Grange and for education. This account of her life as a model Politician and much more is a tribute to the many women who have shaped our lives. Women like Dora Stockman paved the way for the women of the 21st century and it is important to remember how far women have progressed. This well written history about her life and accomplishments in Michigan would be a true asset to anyones library.
Phenomenal Book August 3, 2008
A great read about a woman who worked her way to prominence via good works and a sincere love for education. Well written and suitably phrased for an enjoyable read.
The book also includes useful historical references to reinforce the time in which this woman made such amazing in roads into a male dominated world.
Women's-studies courses would be well served by the content and careful vetting of research that is the basis for this book.
A meaningful addition to any library regarding the Grange, Farm culture in the 19th and 20th century, Mighigan history, Michigan politics, Michigan women, and Michigan authors.

Truly a Phenomenal Woman June 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In a time in Michigan's History when women were in the Kitchen or at best a teacher. Dora Stockman blazed a trial of what I call the perfect Proverbs 31 Women. She was the first woman to run and win a major politcal office in Michigan. She was a poet, songtress and agriculturist all to the amazement of the culture at that time. She was not only a trail blazer of her time she is a fine example to young women and old alike that nothing is to hard if you believe and act in faith. Truly Dora Stockman was a Phenomenal Woman.
