In this book, Alice Rowe explores this dichotomy in the lives of 34 smart women. Although cultural sexism is a consistent theme in their stories, so is strength, determination, and inspiration. This is an enlightening portrayal of smart women in our culture. More importantly, it encourges women to celebrate their innate intelligence and abilities.
