Interesting, well written book about the lives of two women submitted by denisemw on August 31, 2019, 11:16pm Two biographies in one book, it is very well researched and written. Both women had interesting lives and they are a contrast from the lives lived by and opportunities available to most women today. Adherence to society's norms was the custom. You don't feel sorry for them as they were clever and took advantage of opportunities, whether it be starting new careers or embarking on new romances, to live the lives they wanted to live. Recommended if you like historical biographies.
