Women's History Month:
Award-winning biographer, scholar and performer Diane Eickhoff presents Revolutionary Heart: The Life of Clarina Nichols and the Pioneering Crusade for Women’s Rights

Diane Eickhoff, local historian and author, will give a Women’s History Month presentation to the Greater Kansas City Association for Women in Communication at 5:30 p.m. March 16, the place TBA. Eickhoff is the author of the award-winning biography, “Revolutionary Heart: The Life of Clarina Nichols and the Pioneering Crusade for Women’s Rights.” Nichols, an abolitionist and early advocate of women's rights, edited a newspaper in Vermont for 10 years before coming to Kansas Territory in 1854 to join the free-state cause. Her lifelong passion, however, was advancing rights for women. To that end she dedicated her long and successful journalism career, writing for a variety of newspapers and periodicals within and beyond Kansas. Visit Diane Eickhoff's Web site
