This volume is a welcome addition to the scholarship on North Carolina women. Thanks to the book's careful documentation, high school and college students could use one of the pieces as a springboard for further research on a particular woman or topic. Any of the essays would be an excellent choice for college course readings. The fluid writing and interesting subject matter make this volume a very pleasurable read.--Elizabeth Bramm Dunn "North Carolina Historical Review"
