This book outlines the lives and contributions of nine American women who changed the country. Some of the women I had heard about before, others I had not. My favorite person to learn about that was featured in this book was Alice Hamilton. Hamilton was a physician who made tremendous contributions for toxicology and industrial medicine. I really enjoyed learning about all of these women.

I thought it was interesting that the author of this book is the oldest daughter of Al Gore. She did a wonderful job highlighting iconic and important American women that made big impacts on the country. She did a good job researching each woman and getting all of the important details and snippets of personalities out in this book.
