Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Changed Modern America
New York Miramax Books; Hyperion 2006 1401352189 / 9781401352189 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xv, 528 pp., illus., bib. notes, index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Fine DJ. "Karenna Gore Schiff's nationally bestselling narrative tells the fascinating stories of nine influential women, who each in her own way, tackled inequity and advocated change throughout the turbulent twentieth century: Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who was born a slave and fought against lynching; Mother Jones, an Irish immigrant who organized coal miners and campaigned against child labor; Alice Hamilton, who pushed for regulation of industrial toxins; Frances Perkins, who developed key New Deal legislation; Virginia Durr, who fought the poll tax and segregation; Septima Clark, who helped to register black voters; Dolores Huerta, who organized farm workers; Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trias, an activist for reproductive rights; and Gretchen Buchenholz, one of the nation's leading child advocates. Gore Schiff delivers an intimate and accessible account of the nine trail-blazing women who deserve not only to be honored but to have their example serve as beacons. / Nadine Schiff worked as a reporter for CBS Evening News before moving into the entertainment business, where she was vice president of Michael Douglas's Stonebridge Entertainment. She is the co-author of If I Don't Do It Now...Career Makeovers for the Working Woman, and lives in Los Angeles." - Publisher.
