SA Selecting 12 or 13 women born in the 1800s (with one exception), the authors in this series have thoroughly researched the lives and achievements of women who stepped outside the normal roles of their time to make a social difference.

Almost all were social activists; one became a balloonist. Most of the women will not be familiar to readers outside their state; a few achieved world recognition (Golda Meir and Edna Ferber came from Wisconsin).
