" ... historians might ... remember the 20th century for the belated -- and blessed -- breakthrough of women ... We were inspired by Helen Keller and Mother Teresa, moved by Princess Diana and Audrey Hepburn. It made a difference that Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy graced the White House. Humor became more lovable in the antics of Lucille Ball -- or vulnerable in the ravishing form of Marilyn Monroe. Oprah Winfrey spoke uniquely to and for us. Amelia Earhart and Sally Ride flew us to the moon. And all around the world, women were making laws (Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher), adjudicating them (Sandra Day O'Connor) and ... breaking them (poignantly, in the case of Jean Harris, brazenly, in those of Ma Barker or Bonnie Parker) ... It was a time in which women at long last got, in the world of Aretha Franklin, RESPECT. Of course there was a price. Ask Tammy Wynette or Elizabeth Taylor about DIVORCE. Here among the triumphs and scandals are the diva-esque voices ... and the indelible faces that mellowed and moved our world." This volume includes other women, such as: Marlene Dietrich, Barbara Walters, Marie Curie, Gloria Steinem, Maria Callas, Katherine Hepburn, Maya Angelou, Lily Tomlin, Mia Farrow, Queen Elizabeth II, Cher, Anne Frank, Georgia O'Keeffe, Bette Davis, Virginia Woolf and Ella Fitzgerald.
