More than Orange Blossoms:
FEISTY,FABULOUS FEMALES OF FLORIDA
presented by Carrie Sue Ayvar
The MLA’s latest presentation from the Florida Humanities Council will be on October 17th at 3:00 p.m.
at the Melrose Public Library. Though not always in the history books, the women who helped build,
form, shape and develop the state have inspired hope and possibility. This presentation highlights
stories of strong courageous women like Julia Tuttle - known as the Mother of Miami, or Mary McLeod
Bethune - daughter of enslaved parents who went on to become an advisor to several U.S. presidents,
and other brave women who influenced and impacted their communities, Florida, and the nation.
Discover and rediscover some of the women who grew and shaped the state!
