Description
"This jewel of an anthology features courageous mothers, clever young girls, and warrior women, heroines that save lives and bring peace to their communities not through brute strength, although endurance is a frequent feat, but through creativity, intelligence, eloquence, wisdom, kindness, perseverance, and loyalty. Ragan's concise yet discerning commentary follows each tale, making this affirming and long-overdue collection as edifying as it is entertaining."--Booklist, quoted on back cover.
