"... an eloquent testimonial to the seventeen autobiographers
themselves. The autobiographies are enhanced by the insights of
O'Connell's penetrating analyses and synthesis of personal and
professional commonalities and differences in these women's lives
and experiences. The women's eminence is made more evident by
Russo's informative discussion of the societal context and its
relationship to development of the field and women's contributions
to it...an energizing source of pride and inspiration to all
readers."
—from the Foreword by Virginia Staudt Sexton
