Adopting an Abandoned Farm
About this audiobook
Narrator Beata Pozniak revives Kate Sanborn's legacy ensuring that women's stories are not forgotten and will be heard again.
Kate Sanborn (1839 -1917) was a pioneering figure in American literature and education, known for her insightful essays, lectures, and biographies that often highlighted the achievements of women and the importance of humor and optimism in daily life. In an era when women were expected to confine themselves to domestic spheres, Kate Sanborn stood out as a bold author and entrepreneur, venturing into the male-dominated realm of business ownership with her farm in 1893. Her audacity and leadership, seeking equality in spaces where she was often the sole woman, had been overshadowed by time—until now. Her work, including "Adopting an Abandoned Farm," reflects a blend of wit, wisdom, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, offering a unique perspective on life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Discover the inspiring story of one of America's first female farm owners, narrated by acclaimed actress and advocate Beata Pozniak. Known for her role in eight times Oscar nominated film 'JFK' (playing Gary Oldman's wife, Marina Oswald) and 'Babylon 5' (female President of Earth), and as a winner of Earphones and Voice Arts Awards, Pozniak brings her unique perspective as a Polish immigrant who initiated the first bill in the history of the US Congress to celebrate International Women's Day. Her powerful narration shines a spotlight on forgotten author and pioneer Kate Sanborn, continuing Pozniak's lifelong mission to honor remarkable women in history.
