This 190 page hardcover book, titled "Women of Courage" by Dorothy Nathan, is a landmark edition published by Random House in 1964. The book features biographies of five famous women, including Mary McLeod Bethune, Amelia Earhart, Jane Addams, and Susan B Anthony. They were alike in being women of unusual courage, but the lives they led were very different. Susan B. Anthony fought for women's rights.  Jane Addams walked out of her comfortable private parlor to make Chicago's slums her home.  Mary Mcleod Behtune, like a conscience, drilled away prejudice which kept Negro children from growing up to share the good things in American life.  Amelia Earhardt 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 many extraordinary American women whose lives are woven into the bright pattern of our country.  These 5 stand out for their boldness and imagination.  The illustrations by Carolyn Cather add to the beauty of the book, which is written in English and is the original edition.
