Mattie Spenser and her new husband Luke start off to the west. As they live their life Mattie keeps a journal of the joys and frustrations of frontier life and marriage.
With her sketchbook labeled My Inventions and her father's toolbox, Mattie could make almost anything – toys, sleds, and a foot warmer. When she was just twelve years old, Mattie designed a metal guard to prevent shuttles from shooting off textile looms and injuring workers. As an adult, Mattie invented the machine that makes the square-bottom paper bags we still use today. However, in court, a man claimed the invention was his, stating that she "could not possibly understand the mechanical complexities." Marvelous Mattie proved him wrong, and over the course of her life earned the title of "the Lady Edison." With charming pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, this introduction to one of the most prolific female inventors will leave readers inspired. Marvelous Mattie is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

The daughter of a fallen woman, Mattie Armstrong might have lived a life of poverty and failure. But with determination and courage, Mattie escaped her gossiping neighbors and her loneliness to become the first woman enrolled in the medical school in Omaha and then the state’s first doctor on the vast prairies of western Nebraska. Set against the backdrop of that sparsely settled land at the turn of the twentieth century, Mattie tells the story of a pioneer woman physician. She learned to “read the prairie” and often traveled hours to deliver a baby or pull an aching tooth or set a broken limb. She found romance and disappointment, battles won and loved ones lost, challenges met and opportunities passed. As the years passed, her life took on a richness and quality she would not have found anywhere else or at any other time. Inspired by the life of Dr. Georgia Arbuckle Fix, Nebraska's first female physician, Mattie offers a realistic and haunting portrait of life on the plains and of a most unforgettable woman.
