Emily forged her own path with determination and intelligence. Far from the stereotype of a delicate southern lady, Emily cultivated a self-reliant spirit that enabled her to manage family responsibilities, vast property holdings, and eventually the immense estate left to her by her brother. Discover how Emily Austin Perry navigated a world shaped by men and carved out a legacy of her own—one that continues to influence Texas history today. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore genealogy, women’s history, and the complex stories behind one of Texas’s most influential families.
