I have a copy of this book on my shelf, but my copy lists the author as Karen Harvey.

Inspiring. Shows how ordinary women made an impact in their small circles of influence, even during times when women were second class citizens. My favorite part of the book was on the women in Henry Flagler's life. Very interesting but sad -- his wives all met tragic ends! If you love St. Augustine, Florida this book would be of particular interest to you. Lots of juicy morsels about the history and society of the old city.
