Hi. Welcome back to Likely Stories. I'm Paige Connell and I teach English at Midway High School. The late 1960s must have been quite a time to be alive. I missed it by just a decade or so.

She knows I'm a fan of biographies and stories about brilliant, inspiring women, and this book checks both of those boxes. -
