	Laura Ingalls Wilder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in Pepin, Wisconsin to parents Charles Phillip and Caroline Lake (Quiner) Ingalls, the second of their five children (Mary, who later became blind, Laura, Caroline, whom they called Carrie, Freddy, who died at a year old, and Grace).
		Laura, always active in various clubs and an advocate for several regional farm associations, was recognized as an authority in poultry farming and rural living, which led to invitations to speak to groups around the region.
		Laura's fellow clubwomen were mostly the wives of business owners, doctors and lawyers, and her club activities took up much of the time that Rose was encouraging her to use to develop a writing career for national magazines, as Rose had done.

	The My Hero Project - Laura Ingalls Wilder
		Wilder was one of the first authors to show us that pioneer women were smart, skillful people who contributed as much to the welfare of their families as did men.
		Wilder sewed those buttonholes so well and so fast that she was rewarded with a huge salary--one dollar a day!--enough to pay for herself, her husband and daughter to move to Missouri.
		Laura is like a precious stone with many facets, she is determined, strong-willed, she never settles, she will sacrifice her wants and needs for others, a lover of nature and poetry, passioniate in her ideals, and a steadfast and unwavering wife, mother, Godly woman and friend.
