But in addition to such well-known and legendary figures as Queen Elizabeth I and Virginia Dare, a multitude of other women influenced the making of North Carolina.

Margaret Supplee Smith and Emily Herring Wilson bring together a wealth of materials to demonstrate how North Carolina women lived, from the days of early native settlements to the end of World War II. Filled with names, places, colorful anecdotes, and more than two hundred photographs and documents that bring to life important moments in history, \u003ci\u003eNorth Carolina Women\u003c\/i\u003e establishes the critical influence of women in shaping the character and economy of the state and the values of its citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe narratives embedded in women's history, presented chronologically, create an enormous landscape across time--broadly analyzed and meticulously detailed.
