In Women of Philadelphia: Parish's Promise, we meet Ann Parish who, after surviving the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793, dedicated her life to teaching needlework to female smallpox survivors and orphans.

Karsonya "Kaye" Wise Whitehead takes us through the life of a middle class seamstress who wrote one of the only preserved diaries of a black woman in the country.
