Summary

A Woman Ahead Of Her Time, the remarkable Dr. Annie Dove Denmark dedicated her life to higher education and the youth of her day. As the first female college president of both Anderson College and in the state of South Carolina, Dr. Denmark faced many challenges in keeping the school open and thriving through the Great Depression and World War II. Through her commitment to both the school and her faith, Dr. Denmark was able to accomplish what many thought was impossible. This compilation of materials, written by the friends and colleagues who knew her best, includes a biography of Dr. Denmark written by Kathryn Copeland, her coworker for twenty-seven years, and features a collection of wonderful images straight from the college archives.
