Description

Containing 1500 biographies and more than 1400 photographs or portraits, this extraordinary encyclopaedia, originally published in 1897, documents the lives and achievements of remarkable American women who lived during the nineteenth century. Frances E Willard and Mary A Livermore, two extraordinary women in their own right, compiled this massive work toward the end of their own very accomplished lives to demonstrate that women were a rising cultural and intellectual force to be reckoned with.
