New England has nurtured countless women who shook off traditional
gender roles to forge their own destinies. Their achievements are
legion. Narragansett tribal historian Princess Red Wing served as a
delegate to the United Nations and co-founded Rhode Island's
Tomaquag Museum. Boston iconoclast Isabella Stewart Gardner had the
acute artistic vision to establish the museum that bears her name.
Harriet Beecher Stowe ignited public opinion against slavery,
arguably hastening the Civil War, as displays in her Hartford home
make clear. Pioneering naturalist Rachel Carson jumpstarted the
modern environmental movement with her writings about the rocky
beaches and quivering tidepools of Southport, Maine. New England's
Notable Women shines the spotlight on 45 of these trailblazers and
achievers and directs readers to the homes and sites throughout New
England where their stories come to life.
