Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"The Liberation of Winifred Bryan Horner will be of interest to both general and academic readers with an interest in the challenges faced by academic women of an earlier generation—and a must-read for those with no such interest. Readers will come away feeling like they've come to know Horner just enough to wish that they, too, had been her mentee and friend."
