Her Story: A Timeline of Women Who Changed America

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

New book that is quite a lovely read: Her Story: A Timeline of Women Who Changed America by Charlotte S. Waisman and Jill S. Tietjen (Harper Collins, 2008).

The women lawyers included in this book:

Bella Abzug Sadie Alexander Florence Allen Violette Anderson Cary Debora de Hoyos Marian Wright Edelman Clara Shortridge Foltz Belva Lockwood Catharine Alice MacKinnon Arabella Mansfield Eleanor Holmes Norton Gale Norton Sandra Day O’Connor Charlotte Ray Sarah Weddinton The book is a beautiful, annotated (with text, photographs and illustrations) timeline. The works cited at the back of the book would be an excellent research starting point for any biographer. Also, the index of subjects is subdivided by profession — very handy!
