A Tribute to Katherine Martin

Posted By: Susan Macaulay

I didn't know Katherine Martin personally.

I never met her, or even spoke to her. But in her words I recognized a kindred spirit. She was, in many ways, the inspiration for this website. And so her spirit lives on through you and me.

Two of her books, Women of Courage and Women of Spirit , were the sparks that reignited my passion for telling women’s stories.

Both books are anthologies, collections of stories of courageous women from around the world. Ordinary women who did extraordinary things. Extraordinary women who did ordinary things.

Martin captured the essence of their stories with insight, compassion and a simple appreciation for the power of the human spirit.
