Synopsis A Thesaurus of Women by : Barbara Joan Zeitz Ma
A Thesaurus of Women: From Cherry Blossoms to Cell Phones offers a social presentation of history linking places with the unfamiliar female faces traced to their creation. The places, both of long ago and today, are familiar, famous, and global. This collection unmasks the hidden faces of the real women linked to Lady Liberty, Lady Godiva, greenspace, outer space, refrigeration, relativity, a bus boycott, computer language, and more. Mysteries of her histories are hacked open for you to learn of the women linked to the DNA in your body, OSHA in your workplace, Social Security in your future, a bridge in Brooklyn, the Civil Rights March in Washington, cherry blossoms in DC, and the cell phone in your hand. A Thesaurus of Women seeks to provide expansive information in a minimal amount of time in respect to our busy lifestyles. With complete citations for further reference, this is the perfect historical teaser for those who want to build a base knowledge of women's roles in the deļ¬ning moments and discoveries of history as well as those who want to stay sharp on what they already know. From politics to athletics, from Wall Street to Hollywood, women have been vital, if unrecognized, pioneers and innovators throughout history. Learn some of their stories in A Thesaurus of Women From Cherry Blossoms to Cell Phones.

Synopsis A Thesaurus of Women from Water to Music by : Barbara Joan Zeitz, MA
Within the pages of traditional history books that stand proudly on library shelves lies the accomplishments of many men who have helped to change the world with their talents. Unfortunately what is missing from the pages of those same books is the multitude of women from numerous cultures who have also accomplished great things. Barbara Joan Zeitz, who holds a masters degree in Womens Studies, shares the hidden history of successful women in a diverse collection that offers surprising facts and stories about their previously unknown achievements. In fifty-two stories, Zeitz profiles female innovators that include the creator of the first draft construction of the magnificent Hoover Dam, the inventor of the washing machine and dishwasher, the pioneer of the first weather satellite, and the writers of what would become the hit musicals Chicago, Mary Poppins, and The Sound of Music. Throughout her compilation accompanied by sources that encourage extended searches, Zeitz proves that women have indeed made a vital contribution throughout history while providing inspiration for a younger generation of women to continue the legacy. A Thesaurus of Women from Water to Music spotlights accomplished, virtually unknown women and links them to well-known aspects of history.
