In her fascinating exploration of how seven mid-twentieth-century women constructed their public personae, Susan Ware has not only illuminated the predicament of modern woman but has provided perceptive insights into the nature of our popular culture. Readers will find the seven icons she has chosen captivating.--William E. Leuchtenburg Susan Ware has written sensitive and revealing portraits of seven originals, women who did it their way and opened paths for others. She tells us things about these heroes that we didn't know--the interconnections of their public and private lives, some of which were highly complicated--and examines what qualities enabled them to break through, then sustain their remarkable careers. There are lessons here for women of all ages and talents--and for men, too.--Elizabeth Drew Biographer Susan Ware chose to profile women who were products of approximately the same historical period...[who] were all 'firsts' in some area and [who] made things happen with their brands and/or talents rather than their looks...[I] enjoyed this book immensely and learned many new and fascinating things about the people behind the legends.--Gwen Walsh "La Salle News Tribune "
Reseña del editor
Susan Ware chronicles the professional and private lives of seven notable women of our country. She shows how the creation or re-creation of their personae was an essential element in their success, whether they craved fame or chose a different lifestyle. She pays special attention to how they balanced their lives -married, single, or with partners, with or without children, to provide examples for today's women. All seven women chose to live exceptional and unconventional lives, offering other women examples of the ability to live beyond the limits imposed by society or family, to dream and strive, to be independent and fulfilled.
