Excellent, informative book

VERY interesting how the women in some famous men's lives gave way to letting the man get all the credit for being something extraordinary - sometimes at the expense of the woman. Very informative history.
The World is Changing....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Since the beginning of the 20th century women have become able to access higher education. Political leadership has also come notably within the reach of women. Yet, most women also elect to be wives and mothers. Although this will always be a difficult balance to achieve, societal changes have made it possible for a woman to take pride and satisfaction as professionals and as family persons. Still, two factors seem critical. The support of an understanding spouse as well as flexibility and planning are essential. This book tells of both failures and success in achieving their goals. The author has carefully chosen five notable women to show the spectrum from failure to success in attainting that balance.

This was a good book to listen to in the car on tape. I learned some history reading this book. I thought all the stories were very interesting and recommend this book for general knowledge. All the women described have been important in history.
Absolutely Interesting!

This book certainly impacted me. Finding out how these remarkable women achieved full success in their times is not only something which women can gain from, but also men. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in achieving their goals.
