Summary
In this extraordinary textbook, three female psychologists cast a new light on the role of circumstance, accomplishments, and personality in the development of various 20th-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 Georgia OKeefe, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Ella Fitzgerald.
