Im usually intimidated when it comes to books of this genre but I must say I was fully immersed and the writing style was not just informational but it had a story like flow that held my attention. It had wit, it was easily digestible and Im glad to have learned the woman who shaped Theodore Roosevelt. I particularly loved all the quotes before each chapter. Thank you Simon & Schuster, NetGalley and Edward O'Keefe for this advance copy in exchange for honest review.

An extremely thorough and fascinating book about the women who influenced Theodore Roosevelt. The author leaves no stone unturned and you will wish these women would have been recognized and honored during their lifetime. I have to believe though that they knew their worth and Teddy did too. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
