I am making a promise to myself now that when I am a history teacher I will be using this book throughout the years to enrich my students' historical knowledge. There is no other book on the market like Oppedisano's Historical Encyclopedia of American Women Entrepreneurs. It is a fabulous book dedicated to female entrepreneurs who greatly contributed to American society throughout the past three decades. I have learned so much from this book, and you just want to keep reading on and on, from one woman's story to the next. I highly recommend it to everyone. It's also a wonderful tool for research.

A wonderful book celebrating a segment of our population deplorably overlooked. It is a concise and reader-friendly account of entrepreneurs in our society since 1776 to present who fought, struggled,faced insurmountable odds,succeeded and who all happen to be WOMEN. Their story is told in a narrative that flows easily and hold's one's interest from one page to the next. This is one great book.

The book champions women's achievements but fails to capture the drama of struggle or pivotal moments of a life that leads to the quest of entrepreneurship. However there is nothing like it on the market dealing with this subject from an historical perspective.
