| Notes: Hard to Find Vintage Pictorial Cover Landmark Hardback Book in Very Good condition. Harder to Find this book as a Non-Ex Library Book. Binding is tight and pages are crisp and clean. Inside text appears to be Unread and Unused. No writing or markings inside the book. There is a spot to the bottom page ends which has little to no effect on the bottom page inside borders- this is very minor. Outside pictorial covers show some minor soiling and wear to include the outside corners and edges. This is a less common title in the Landmark series. This title was not issued with a Dust Jacket. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. Women of Courage Landmark Book #107. This is a book about the lives of five women. They were alike in being a women of unusual courage, but the lives they led were very different. Susan B. Anthony fought down the line for woman's right to have rights. Jane Addams walked out of her comfortable private parlor to make Chicago's slums her home. Mary McLeod Bethune, like a conscience, drilled away at prejudices which kept Negro children from growing up to share the good things in American life. Amelia Earhart flew airplanes, proving that women as well as men have spirit to dare and do. Margaret Mead traveled to the corners of the world in her search for the secrets of human nature. There are numberless extraordinary American women whose lives are woven into the bright pattern of our country. These five stand out for their boldness and imagination. |
