Hidden Heroines of The Huntington
No Customer Reviews
The theme through most of these biographies is that the woman had talent and used it. That meant going against the strong societal prejudices by men, as well as women, that women should marry and subject themselves to-i.e. 'obey'-their husbands, have and raise children and make sure the house was comfortable and dinner was on the table by the time the husband came home. The wife supposedly derived her happiness from the fact that she was doing all she could to be sure the husband was happy and comfortable. That was her primary goal in life-so said the mores of the time-set by men, of course. No fools they!
I became excited as I learned more about these women. They were truly heroines buried in history. I felt them crowding around me while I put my notes together in the draft binder, a mock-up of the final book. They encouraged me along the way, TELL MY STORY! So little had been written about them. There are probably some obscure men who have done great things, but have been lost to history-however there are a lot more women in that category-and the goddess of history is a woman-Clio!
Let me introduce you to the women I have met at The Huntington. They are truly outstanding-heroines all.
