Noted for her in-depth research, Penny Colman takes road trips in search of landmarks to women. Here she is with four memorials: “When Anthony Met Stanton,” marking Amelia Bloomer's introduction of Susan B. Anthony to Elizabeth Cady Stanton; “Rosie the Riveter,” honoring World War II women workers; Sojourner Truth, a bust of the famous suffragist/abolitionist; “Homage to Women,” a tribute to 19th century mill girls.

A popular speaker, Penny Colman gives lively talks based on her books. This picture was taken during her multimedia presentation about Rosie the Riveter: Women Working on the Home Front in World War II. Her program “Celebrating Women” includes life lessons from yesterday's women to today's.
