Recenzii
“This biography of my grandmother interweaves a woman's personal story with the history of her time. I found it to be a deeply moving, well researched, suspenseful odyssey.”—Jessica Doyle
“A Mind of Her Own is first and foremost the highly insightful biography of a remarkable woman who was an astute participant/observer in many of the most significant events and developments of her time over nearly nine decades. It is the saga of one of Wisconsin’s most important and influential families over three generations.”—John Buenker, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Wisconsin–Parkside
