Voices from the Garden

Virginia's women, both renowned and unrecognized, shaped more than 400 years of the culture, country, and Commonwealth through figures such as Anne Burras Laydon of Jamestown; Cockacoeske, Pamunkey chief of the Middle Peninsula; frontierswoman Mary Draper Ingles of the New River Valley; Martha Washington of Fairfax County; Williamsburg printer Clementina Rind; seamstress and author Elizabeth Keckly of Dinwiddie County; Richmond entrepreneur and civil rights leader Maggie L. Walker; Richmond physician Sarah G. Jones; Smyth County entrepreneur and Lutheran lay leader Laura S. Copenhaver; Henrico County educator Virginia E. Randolph; and Richmond suffragist and artist Adèle Clark.
