Grace Shaw Weber's life started in 1911 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has lead her through Alberta, Canada, to Seattle, Washington, to Kodiak Island, Alaska and San Francisco, California, to Quincy, Washington and back again to Seattle, where she currently resides. She saw the 20th century through the eyes of a child of the plains, a book-keeper, a shipyard worker during the second world war, a farmer, a mother, and a journalist and press photographer. History and memoir blend together as one woman recounts her life and the 20th century in All Those Hats.
