Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this book about seven great women in history. There were some that I knew a little about but a couple I didn't know at all. It was an easy read with a good overview of each person's life story.

I am going to a conference next week and Eric Metaxas is going to be the key note speaker. I have read one of his books already and wanted to sneak one more in before I leave. This book has Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Saint Maria of Paris, Corrie ten Boom, Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa.

Hello littens! A good friend if mine has been looking for audiobook bios of successful, strong women and wasn't enamored of this title. Anyone have recommendations for books she can try instead?

"Montgomery had 18 black-owned cab companies, and to help people who had a long bus ride to work, they all agreed to pick up black passengers at the city's bus stops and to charge only the amount of bus fare." From Rosa Parks' chapter. Those same cab drivers were later arrested for not charging the full fare.

“Each era has the fatal hubris to believe that it has once and for all climbed to the top of the mountain and can see everything as it is, from the highest and most objective vantage point possible.”
