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 Myra Bradwell Mary Ann Shadd Cary Debora de Hoyos Crystal Eastman Marian Wright Edelman Clara Shortridge Foltz Ruth Bader Ginsburg Barbara Jordan Belva Lockwood Catharine Alice MacKinnon Arabella Mansfield Constance Baker Motley Pauli Murray Eleanor Holmes Norton Gale Norton Sandra Day O’Connor Charlotte Ray Janet Reno 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!
