More DescriptionThis book is an effort to establish a record with more than 800 biographical sketches of women of significant achievement in all fields of endeavor and from all periods of history,from the colonial era to modern day.This region of Massachusetts, thanks in large part to the existence of women's colleges and its progressive history, can claim a rich legacy of women of achievement, women, who as Carvalho says, "could see the big picture" and who led the way on social issues of their day,from abolition to temperance to suffrage.Each generation has coped with the evolution of how women should behave and how they could take on new roles in the workforce.
