Local Author: Robert Spencer

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Lizzie Millett was born in Waterford, Maine, in 1861. She and younger  sister Hattie escaped from their troubled childhoods and, each in her own way, built successful lives. Lizzie’s struggles to achieve personal and professional success in “a man’s world” of business are struggles that, in some forms, continue for women today.
