Brief vignettes focus on a diverse selection of lesser-known women significant to American history. An opening timeline places the women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; each subsequent engaging micro-biography is aided by lively portraits with watercolor washes. Roberts and Goode's second collective biography for mid-elementary readers (Founding Mothers) once again effectively highlights the overlooked role of women in early American history.

In clear, energetic prose bristling with purpose, Roberts introduces ten women who made unique contributions to America's early years. An illustrated timeline precedes the parade of notables; the two-page mini-biographies provide solid information about these wives, mothers, sisters, and female friends. Pen and watercolor illustrations dance across creamy pages. Websites.
