Description

Hutchinson presents female pioneers, in fields as varied as government, business, education, & health care, who overcame the resistance & prejudice of their times to accomplish things that no woman -- & sometimes no man -- had before. Interspersed with the stories of America’s historic female leaders are stories of today’s women whose successes are clearly linked to those of their predecessors, such as: Amelia Earhart & Sally Ride; Clara Barton, Elizabeth Dole & Bernadine Healy; & Oveta Culp Hobby, Madeleine Albright & Condoleezza Rice. Sen. Hutchinson, became the first woman from the state of Texas elected to the U.S. Senate. Illustrations.
