Recenzii

The volume . . . includes stimulating discussions of twentieth-century entrepreneurs and pioneers in fields where women were rarely found. . . .This volume could be used in the classroom as a model for student biographical explorations. . . .It is a welcome addition to that small bookshelf of biographical collections on Pennsylvania women.
