About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of A Group of Famous Women by Edith Horton. Read in English by BettyB; Gini Pug; Kim Lamb; Ann Boulais; Kirsten Nelson; Dick Bourgeois-Doyle; Ruth P.; Kendra Murray; Colleen McMahon; jenno It is a remarkable fact that little attention, if any, has been given to the study of the careers of distinguished women, and the question has often been asked why short biographies should not be prepared, in order that the pupils in our schools might become familiar with the noble and unselfish lives of the many remarkable women whose influence has been inspiring and uplifting. It is hoped that those who read the stories of the lives of the women whose names appear in this volume will find in them an incentive to guide their own lives into useful channels. - Summary by Edith Horton (Author)
