Inspiring! Every woman should read this. Susan Fleet not only gives a biography of each of the women, but places each one in the historical time line so that you could see what the country and world were going through.I didn't understand why Annie Oakley was in this book about musicians. Even though I was a fan of Annie Oakley (or what 1950s TV showed me) still it was interesting.The other biographies were of women whose names I didn't recognize but was glad for the introduction.As a person who listens to books on Text-to-Speech I found the reference numbers, websites and bibliographies that seem to pop out of no where, quite distracting. I just wonder if those all couldn't go to the end of the book so the stories didn't have to get interrupted.Oh, and I liked the way the author blended these biographies across time. It helped me to place the people and what they were going through in the proper dress and social eras. Now I have more research to do.
