ISBN 9780060566357American Heroines comprises brief biographical sketches of 45 American women and assessments of each one's significance and impact. It presents a remarkably varied selection of important American women spanning our entire history and highlighting accomplishments from different kinds of activities, including the arts, medicine, sports, aviation and politics.Written by Texas Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, American Heroines avoids partisanship.
