Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer. She used her fortune to support women's education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education.
Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother, E. W. Scripps, built America's largest chain of newspapers, linking midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight. By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education. In Ellen Browning Scripps, McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West.Purchase the audio edition.Binding Type: Hardcover

Defective Item
Color: Black, Color: Black
The door broke off immediately out of the package and the screws are stripped so they can’t be tightened into place. I might superglue it because I don’t want to go through the hassle of returning it and it’s the only way they’d offer even a partial refund for a defective product when I asked.

Perfect jewelry organizer
Size: Large, Color: Grey, Size: Large, Color: Grey
This jewelry box is excellent and very convenient. It is made of sturdy material, which ensures its durability. It is very useful for storing all kinds of jewelry. It features space for 4 watches, at least 8 necklaces or bracelets, ample room for rings, and—one of the things I liked most—you can store your earrings without worrying about them falling out. The clasp is also very good.

Clean, classic jewelry box
Size: Large, Color: Apricot
This is the perfect size to go on my dresser. I used to have a tall jewelry chest that really just collected a bunch of things that I didn't really need. I wanted to downsize and just keep the pieces that are special to me and those that I wear often. This is a beautiful, simple box with enough storage for what I need. It has a clean, classic look and is built to last. There is a lock on the front, however, I have not used it so I can't speak to that. Overall, a great value and great piece to store jewelry.
