Reviews
"This
collection of brief biographies of women with ties
to the Bay State provides quick
clear glimpses into the
lives of famous—and not so
famous—artists, scientists,
athletes, and activists
throughout the history of the
Commonwealth . . .
Students search for a subject for
further research would be well
served to begin here to
find a woman they’d like to
read more about…"
--Irmarie Jones, The Recorder, Greenfield, MA
"This book is very well
written...there are women I never
had met before. The glossaries
are a nice touch...Excellent
source for extra study by
students."
