A Woman's Empire — Dorothy Dowdell

THE SPECTACULAR OLD NORTHWEST AND TWO WOMEN WHO DARED TO CHALLENGE GREAT ODDS FOR THEIR DREAMS…

CYRA -- She came as a bride to the timberlands of Washington to face the hatred of her husband's brother -- the tyrannical Grant, who believed women belonged in the kitchen or the bedroom. But when her husband died, Cyra married Grant. It was the beginning of a most unusual relationship.

VICKY -- Grant's daughter was a lot like her father. Stubborn. Ambitious. Aggressive. Her dream was to run a lumber mill. Her father wouldn't permit it. So Vicky married rival mill owner Quentin Sorenson and proved herself a match for any man…except her father.
