As she navigates her evolving relationship with the new rector, Donald Maxwell, Hepsey embodies the struggle for recognition and agency. With themes of empowerment and the importance of civic duty, this compelling tale resonates with students, civic activists, and historians alike. Discover how Hepsey's journey challenges conventions and inspires a new generation to advocate for their beliefs.
