is here in all its many faces. -- Helen Vendler "New York Times
Book Review"

written, well-documented biographies representing ten years of
labor by a husband-and-wife team of editors and 738 contributors,
shatters the old myths. Women were there all along, and what they
did, other than merely playing their biological role, was
remarkably important--even essential--to the growth of American
civilization.
