Awesome story. Thought it might be a boring biography but it was a very poignant story of her struggle to overcome the obstacles in taking what was considered to be a man's job at that time and succeeding at it and what that success cost her. was a great read and went very quick. I finished it in a day. And there is so much I want to explore further, like what was sealed in Langers files at the MN Historical Society until 1991 that didn't make it into this book at the time of it's publication and I was neighbors with Brenda Ueland who wrote an article for the Tribune concerning Coya and I only knew her as the eccentric old lady around the corner who I delivered the paper to. This is a must read especially if you are a Minnesotan!… (més)
