"Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History," the quote everyone knows or more than likely misquoted. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich takes the one sentence from a paper she had written in 1976, a sentence that was more of a throw away, and wrote a book.

What Howard Zinn did for the voices that were not heard, LTU does it in the same way, writing about the Women that we don't really talk about with a few we know every well to help shape the timeline. The books starts with three authors: de Pizan, Woolf and Stanton and there respective works. Then moves the book into a somewhat brief run down of women who help shaped history to what we currently have now, better or for worse.
