Critics Review
“Drawing from their writings, Fernald creates sensitive portraits of her subjects … An intimate look at women and their time.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A generous book with some surprising choices as subjects. Fernald ably draws on scholarship while keeping the text accessible.”

“Following in Woolf’s footsteps, [Fernald] revitalizes the biography, a form which has primarily served men, to revise the legacies of these bold wanderers and explorers, these overlooked rebels and mentors. Fernald’s group biography illuminates less-traveled paths to live by.”
