---> HIT: nonconformists

[Susan Baker <sbaker@ORCA.ESD114.WEDNET.EDU>]

Following is a compilation of suggestions in response to my post about ten
days ago seeking names of non-conformists, of people who traveled "the
road
less taken".  Thanks to the following LM_NETters who contributed:    Julie
Rogers, Audrey Glick, Myra Gross, Cathie Miller, Becky Keller, Lynn
McCree, Sister Sally Daly, Debbie White, Kathleen Fernandes, and Paul
Kreamer.


*****
Robin Graham and Tania Aebi, both of whom
chucked college to sail a small boat single-handed around the world.
Robin's
book is called *Dove* and Tania's is *Maiden Voyage*. You might also add
the
late Robert Manry who described his own trans-atlantic journey as a
middle-aged family man taking a 13 foot sailboat to England in
*Tinkerbelle*.

Dorothea Dix, Victoria Woodhull, Cesar Chavez, Margaret Sanger.

Look at the names of the people listed on the latest Macintosh commercial
on
TV. (suggested by two people)

The title of the article is LOOKING BACK AT FORWARD THINKERS
Thirteen innovators who changed education:
        Charles William Eliot
        Andrew Carnegie
        John Dewey
        Maria Montessori
        FDR
        Thurgood Marshall
        Benjamin Mays
        Clark Kerr
        Albert Shanker
        Joan Ganz Cooney
        Allan Bloom
        Paulo Freire
        Annette Polly Williams

This list is from Jules Archer's book *The Unpopular Ones*."
Roger Williams, John Peter Zenger, Thomas Paine, Anne Royall,
Joseph Palmer, Horace Greeley, Henry David Thoreau, Jonathan
Walker, Amelia Jenks Bloomer, Eugene Debs, Woodrow Wilson,
Bethenia Owens, Margaret Sanger, J. Robert Oppenheimer,
J. William Fulbright.
Buckminster Fuller, Frank Lloyd Wright and Churchill


Just a few pioneers/nonconformists--Amelia Earhart, Thomas Edison,
Mother Jones, Georgia O'Keeffe, George Eliot, Gloria Steinem, Betty
Friedan, Howard Hughes, Galileo, Jackie Robinson.

Ralph Nader
Katherine Hepburn
Susan B. Anthony
Caesar Chavez
Jane Fonda
Thomas Paine
Henry Thoreau
Sacajawea

These two books were suggested as good resources:
CONTEMPORARY HEROES AND HEROINES (Ray B. Brown, ed.) (Gale Pub.)
AMERICAN REFORMERS (Alden Whitman, ed.) (H.W. Wilson Pub.). (suggested by
2 people)
