Recensione:

“A series of brightly written biographies of an extraordinary gallery of pioneering women, many of whom are unknown even to the most history-minded of Texans. ...The lesser-known shapers of Texas are presented in as full and interesting detail as the more celebrated.” (Dale L. Walker, Dallas News)

“Former U.S. Senator Hutchison was the first woman to represent Texas in the Senate, and she’s admirably devoted her authorial career to writing women back into the historical record.” (Publishers Weekly)
