From the Dust Jacket: "The result of ten years of research and writing, this pathbreaking reference book includes individual biographies, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words, of more than 400 women [423 to be exact] who lived in Chicago, the great metropolis of the Midwest, from 1790 to 1990. The majority of the biographies represent new research and are published for the first time. They expand our understanding of the diverse ways in which women had a role in community life, the professions, and the arts from the earliest period of settlement for which we have records of women in the Chicago area." Also included is a long Introduction [42 double column pages] in which co-editor Rima Schultz provides a useful survey of the history of Chicago women. Illustrated with 140 black-and-white illustrations (formal portraits, news photos, etc) as well as a 16-page section of color plates that reproduce the work of Chicago women artists and craftswomen. A comprehensive index fills pages 1,027-1,088. Bound in the original rose boards with a black cloth spine stamped in shiny gold. Includes dust jacket. First Printing of the First Edition.
