"As the study of women's history has burgeoned over the last 25 years, the discovery--or the rediscovery--of remarkable women of the past has been a revelation. For those of us who grew up learning little about women's achievements and contributions, it is a joy to hear the voices of women once silenced, to reopen the record of lives largely forgotten. Dorothy Stuck and Nan Snow add to our growing, though still too small, repository of information about memorable women who received little notice or credit for the roles they played in the larger world." --Ruth B. Mandel, Professor and Director, Eagleton Institute of Politics
