Women of Vision

In this extraordinary textbook, a new light is cast on the role of circumstance, accomplishments, and personality in the development of various twentieth-century women of vision. This is a brand new ""life-course"" approach to understanding female leaders and gives valuable insight into the lives of such imminent women as: Isadora Duncan; Georgia O'Keefe; Anna Eleanor Roosevelt; Alice Paul; Ella Fitzgerald; and, Shirley Chisholm. This book furnishes insights into how the social-economic-political milieu and the attitudes and values of the time played a significant role in the lives of these women but also in all our lives.
