6.5" x 9.25", 384 page hardcover with dustjacket titled AMERICAN HEROINES: THE SPIRITED WOMEN WHO SHAPED OUR COUNTRY by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison / William Morrow, ISBN # 0-06-056635-3, First Edition, copyright 2004/ Though she doesn?t sugar-coat the obstacles or play down the hardships that American women have faced in 228 years of history, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) also sets out to make a clear case for why ?America is the best place on earth to be a woman? in her book, ?American Heroines: The Spirited Women Who Shaped Our Country?. A colorful collage of autobiography, interviews and American social history from a feminine perspective, Hutchison?s new book shows how tenacious and spirited American women, through the power of their own positive thinking and indomitable personalities, built the long bridge over the gender gap one plank at a time. The book focuses on 45 ?American heroines? (46 if you count Hutchison, whose own life story is sown into the book during her profiles and interviews) and shows the progress women have achieved in several fields by telling the stories of both early pioneers and ?women of today.? For example, in the chapter on ?Saving Lives,? Hutchison chose to profile Clara Barton, who founded the American Red Cross as well as Antonia Novello, the first woman, and first Hispanic American, to hold the position of surgeon general. While her profiles of American pioneers are written as social histories, her sections on ?women of today? are set down as interviews that cover questions like the ?important trait for success? and the ?best preparation for a rough-and-tumble life.? And from Texas patriot Mary Austin Holley to news personality Barbara Walters, educators to athletes, renaissance women to record breakers, ?the strain that runs through all of them is hard work and perseverance,? she said. ?Everyone in my book has failed, but every one of them has learned from the experience and made themselves better, and that?s how they were able to make their contributions.? The result is a study in determination of two centuries of women who may not have set out to change the world but did just that.
The book is complete and in FINE condition with some overall light wear mainly to the dustjacket. On the half-title page, the author has inscribed, "To Mary Ann Rankin, A spirited woman! Kay Bailey Hutchison".
