Featured Titles of the Month

Notable American Women: 1607-1950 and
Notable American Women: The Modern Period from Harvard University Press

Harvard University Press published the first volume of Notable American Women in 1971. This important event in women's history documented women's contributions that were previously overlooked and changed the way historians thought and wrote about American history.

This month Credo has released two titles in the series -- Notable American Women: 1607-1950 and Notable American Women: The Modern Period.

Notable American Women: 1607-1950
This biographical dictionary covers the lives of exceptional women throughout three and a half centuries of American history. Here are artists, lawyers, reformers, educators, entrepreneurs, physicists, writers, pioneers, first ladies, film stars. Here are those known for their deeds and those famed for their looks--the genteel and the disreputable, the highborn and slave-born.

Read a few of the biographies:

• Ruth Benedict, anthropologist
• Jane Addams, settlement founder, social reformer and peace worker
• Willa Cather, author
• Isadora Duncan, dancer
• Sojourner Truth, abolitionist and reformer
• Texas Guinan, actress and night club hostess

Notable American Women: The Modern Period
The life stories of American women, from Edith Abbott to Mary Zimbalist, who have in some way affected contemporary American life are explored in this lauded companion to Notable American Women, 1607-1950. The basics--the crucial dates, ancestry, parents, education, marital status, and children--provide invaluable material for both the researcher and the general reader. Beyond these essentials, a brief essay focuses on each woman's life and personality, and evaluates her career from a historical framework.

Read a few of the biographies:

• Janis Joplin, singer
• Hattie Carnegie, fashion designer and entrepreneur
• Jessie Daniel Ames, antilynching reformer and suffragist
• Rachel Carson, writer, biologist and conservationist
• Bess Furman, journalist

The final book in the series -- Notable American Women: Completing the Twentieth Century -- will be released soon on Credo.
