Ruth Rose Ashworth-Cleveland: a pioneer's journey as seen through personal letters.

Nash J.

Chiropractic College, Kansas City, MO.

Ruth Rose Ashworth-Cleveland accomplished a great deal during her eighty years of life. It is generally known that she was one of the founders of Cleveland Chiropractic College. However, she was also an accomplished public speaker and active in several chiropractic organizations for much of her adult life. Not much is known of her life after she left Cleveland Chiropractic College in the early 1940s. It is the author's hope in writing this to give the reader a greater awareness of her accomplishments, and of her as a person.
