Review: Two Extraordinary Women
Rating: 5 out of 5

Based on the true stories of two of the author's ancestors, "A Woman's Place" is an excellent story.  Culled from letters and diaries, O'Leary paints a picture of two women who were strong and independent in a way we take for granted today, but don't often perceive as the norm then.  Truly these were women ahead of their time in many ways.  Not only is their life story interesting, but I found the insight into life in both Europe and America during the time the story takes place very interesting.
