In thinking through American women's history, Susan Ware found herself drawn to seven women who influenced not only their own professions - politics, journalism, anthropology, acting, sports, dance and music - but also the way women say themselves and their options in life. Ware recovers the people behind the legends of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dorothy Thompson, Margaret Mead, Katharine Hepburn, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Martha Graham and Marian Anderson in their life stories.
