This is a unique collection of biographies written in first person...so autobiographies??? The author did an outstanding job of researching and compiling interesting bits of information in each entry. I listened to the audio version and enjoyed the author reading it. I also liked how she included citations for further study in case you want to learn more about the subjects. Recommended!
