Summary

Beginning in 1840 with the Apache warrior Lozen, sister to the famed Apache chief Victorio, and continuing, and continuing through the well-known educator Maria Urquides (who died in 1994), Cleere provides introductory biographies of a group of hardworking women, most of whom deserve a lot more recognition than they have received.
