The collection of women is "Hall of Fame" quality and readers should be encouraged as they grow older to read more about these women.
Included are missionaries, nurses, abolitionists, musicians, and holocaust survivor. Knowing that they lived during a time when historically women were relegated to the background and a mundane life, their accomplishments should empower today's young girls and women to believe as did these women that they, too, can do important work for society and for God.
I highly recommend this book for home libraries a well as school and public libraries.
