Women in Texas,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Women in Texas (Paperback)
I purchased this book as info for a talk entitled "Hats Off to Texas Women". It was invaluable as it gave me information I was even unaware of as a history buff myself. It has been a very beneficial aid.
