In wanting to think through modern women's history, Susan Ware found herself drawn to seven larger-than-life women who influenced not only their professions-politics, journalism, anthropology, acting, sports, dance, and music-but also the way women saw themselves and their options in life. Ware recovers the people behind the legends of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dorothy Thompson, Margaret Mead, Katharine Hepburn, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Martha Graham, and Marian Anderson in compelling life stories. She looks at how they created their persona, how they kept themselves in the public eye, and how they did so for so long.
