In the course of its nearly 200 years, much has been written and said about the scope of Chicago's influence. Dwarfed, and even hidden, by this enormity are the tales of the individuals who, by going about their business and following their vision, changed history. History is often "his story." But what about her story? Clarence Goodman presents the lives of Agent Kate Warne, Miss Ida B. Wells, Capt. Frances Glessner Lee, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mother Dolores Hart, and Dr. Amy Lehman as testament to Chicago women's impact.
