The Four Queens of the Buttonbush Museum

by Beth Brookhart

2025 · Paperback, eBook

In 1950, farm wife Irene Pickett — sick of being cast as the queen of pickling and laundry — joins three other firebrand women to save their failing local museum, battling a glory-hungry rival, county bulldozers, and sabotage.

Why it’s here: Older women, tired of being typecast, band together to claim agency and pull off a miracle — exactly the reclamation CroneHub is about.
