Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-29 00:00:00 Andrew Lindsten Great history textbook supplement. Marie Therese Coincoin -- cool info about a former slave who ended up buying back most of her children from her master (and their father), then went on to own her own slaves. Baroness Pontalba -- This lady was AWESOME! I want to read more about her. Marie Laveau -- Well, yeah, she's interesting. Kate Chopin -- One of my favorites...interestingly enough, she is the second most-read female Louisiana author...and she only lived here for a few years! (First is, of course, Anne Rice...) Grace King -- A little about the lady who has a high school named after her in Metairie... I knew nothing about her until I read this...

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-02 00:00:00 Pete Hernandez There were some really interesting women in this book that most have never heard of. Of course there were the famous too, such as Marie Laveau. Really was interested in the Baroness Pontalba and the stories of the first women doctors in LA after WWII. Some of this can make you pretty mad, but it is good to realize how things were and are.
