4.0 out of 5 stars short bios of interesting women, June 23, 2000

This review is from: Immigrant American Women Role Models: Fifteen Inspiring Biographies, 1850-1950 (Hardcover)
The author selected women who were brave and self-actualizing in an era when the barriers to that were high. The time span, 1850-1950, covers a vast revolution in all facets of society and in the status of women in particular. Each biography is several pages long, and most include a picture of the woman described. The writing is clear and should be readable for high-school students up, possibly for bright junior-high. The tone is level; the author appreciates these women but lets each story stand on its own. This is not a hagiography or a feminist tract in any way, but simply history well-told.
