Críticas

"An invigorating account of Florida women, from pre-Columbian times to the present. Author Doris Weatherford works like a pointillist painter, gradually adding dots of bold color as she relates achievements of or anecdotes about Florida women--bringing women into the foreground alongside the great white men who have previously dominated the landscape."--Florida Times-Union

Reseña del editor

While many works chronicle the various facets of Florida's history, no book has revealed the myriad contributions of the state's pioneering women. Doris Weatherford presents the first comprehensive narrative of the leading ladies who shaped Florida, from prehistoric times to the present. An in-depth portrayal of Florida's guiding matriarchs, The Dared to Dream divulges the lifestyles and achievements of women throughout landmark moments in history, including European exploration, the Civil War era, and post-World War II Florida.
