| Stephane Elise Booth's Buckeye Women, published to commemorate the bicentennial of Ohio's statehood, provides general readers with a useful and readable overview of the heroic roles women played in Ohio's history. Following a chapter on the frontier period, Booth considers the history of Ohio women through the twentieth century in topically organized chapters focusing on employment, the suffrage movement and political activism, reform movements and benevolent projects, cultural and leisure activities, and religious and educational institutions. |
