Virginia Wright-Peterson specializes in revealing untold narratives, especially the hidden stories of women. Her most recent book, A Woman’s War, Too reveals the roles taken by women from Minnesota during WWII, when they served in all branches of the military, and in industry, the home, and the community. Their heroism has not been adequately recognized. Her first book, Women of Mayo Clinic: The Founding Generation, retells the origination story of the famous clinic, including 40 women who were instrumental in the medical center’s founding and success. Both books are finalists for the Minnesota Book Award. Wright-Peterson is currently writing the biography of the city of Rochester, MN, including stories that have not been widely told before.
