Mum's the Word
A Tribute to Ruthe Winegarten
by Debra L. Winegarten

Meet Ruthe Winegarten, as told through the letters of 140 of her closest friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Winegarten, often referred to as one of the "Mothers of Texas Women's History," has spent the last 25 years of her life researching, writing, and publishing the lives and times of Texas women.

Combing through attics, basements, dusty boxes, and museum archives, Ruthe Winegarten has brought back to life these extraordinary women. Now, it's time for Ruthe to have her own spotlight.

Debra Winegarten, her younger daughter, contacted almost all the people in Ruthe's three Rolodexes, inviting them to submit a story, vignette, or photograph that exemplifies Ruthe. Gathered here, you will find stories of courage, persistence, stick-to-it-ness, and fortitude that Ruthe personifies in her quest to give voices to the forgotten.

This labor of love came about because Debra thought it would be more fun for Ruthe to be acknowledged while she was still around to hear the difference she has made in so many peoples' lives.
