Someone once said well-behaved women seldom make history.
Some women from our region didn't necessarily mis-behave, but they will go down in history.
They're also in a new book.
Rebecca Austin is the author of the "Book Notable Women West of The Blue Ridge, Twentieth Century."
She joined us live on WDBJ7 Saturday Morning to talk about the book.
Here's a few places you can find it.
-Botetourt History Museum
-Salem Museum
-Southwest Virginia History Museum and its website
-The Franklin County Museum
-The Roanoker Restaurant
