Abstract:
"We all know of women whose accomplishments have been ignored, miscredited, or devalued. Women are too often shut out of important conversations, relegated to the seat "behind the throne" or imprisoned on pedestals far from the center of the action, but that doesn't stop them from effecting change. In More Than a Footnote, writer and broadcaster Karin Wells profiles some remarkable women who made a difference despite being excluded and overlooked. Keywords: History, Unsung Heroes, Silenced Women, Women in History, Groundbreaking Women, Breaking boundaries, biography, gender studies, women's studies"-- Provided by publisher.
