I have completed reading and viewing "Her Story" and frankly I am amazed by the elegance. I turned the pages as you instructed. It is a work of art and you both deserve major recognition and should be duly proud of its presentation.

My son is in 1st grade and he was telling me about the book they are reading in school; each page is a small biography about someone important in US history. He mentioned Sacajawea was the only woman in his book.  I began to tell him that there were plenty of other honorable women who have made US history.  When he asked me for examples I promptly got your book and we sat down together to read it. He was impressed and we made a promise that we would read 2 pages every night together. Now not only will I be learning more about special women but my son will have that opportunity as well.

You can't imagine how perfect this book [ Her Story: a Timeline of the Women Who Changed America] is for me right now and how much I appreciate it! I'm starting a therapy support group at UCI's Senior Health Center for women over 65 who are experiencing age related depression and anxiety.

The group is called the WOW Group which stands for Wise Old(er) Women and the focus is on celebrating the wisdom that comes with aging and life experience and empowering women to access their inner wisdom. There will be a strong spiritual piece to it and I'll include many cultural and historical archetypes of the wise old woman. I've been searching for inspiring books for the group . . . . This book will be a great treasure to add to the treasure chest!

"You and your presentation are such a gift!  For a women's service organization like DAR whose objects include education and historic preservation, your program and your book couldn't be a more perfect complement.

I appreciate the time you took with our chapter to not only present an informative & engaging program but also the care & attention with which you answered the many questions that were posed to you.  I hope you heard the dozens of excited compliments from our members!

Thank you for sharing your work with us!  Please know you are welcome back anytime."

"What an enticing presentation.  Your collaboration has created a truly beautiful, informative tome.

We wish to thank you for introducing the Arno Art Club to a fascinating tableau of American women.  What talent, what heart, what courage, what love of mankind you have brought together to be shared.

It's a book everyone should read!"

“I finished the book today! I am sure I will reread it over and over. I got goosebumps after reading every page, but when I got to the years after my daughter was born, 1990, I began to choke up and get teary, to think there are firsts even in her generation! I had no idea! because no one until now has put such wonderful information in one book!

Well it even goes back to when I was born, the amazement, all along reading it actually, I so enjoyed it, as I said before I am telling everyone I know, about the book! My daughter is now in college, her first year, I told her, if she ever needs an idea for a paper, this book is a wonderful resource!!! I hope there will be another one!

I am going to contact my 88 year old aunt to get her story ; she went to work for Ford Motors as one of the first industrial nurses I imagine around 1940. I will let you know what I find out, thank you and Jill for doing this incredible book!"

"I am happy to tell you that last year originally we were hoping to buy a few copies of "Her Story" to give away as prizes, but we ended up asking for sponsorships from several local companies and we were able to order 220 copies of "Her Story" and every girl attending the conference received the book! We are hoping to buy them again for the girls this year and I cannot imagine a better conference than having the author of the book give the keynote address."

Congratulations on Her Story! It was the Tattered Cover's top pick for a holiday gift. It really is a wonderful addition to the story of women.

My wife sat with me and leafed through your book for an hour last night, and she thought it was a wonderful gift for Emily and Abigail. And Ayla and Autumn. She liked the scope and feel of the book. Congratulations. Carolyne is a long-time educator — she served nearly twenty years as an elementary school principal in Montgomery County, Md. and now she mentors rookie principals — and she is not easy to please when it comes to the message of books, but she liked yours. I of course like your book as well! I liked Ms. Albright's foreword. And I like the book because it has historical sweep and gives you a true sense of the vast numbers of women who played a prominent role in our affairs. [May it] go to paperback or a second edition.

Reading Her Story has been my refuge. You see, you gave me more than a book--you gave me the gift of a ritual one-half hour each night before bed. I fix myself a cup of tea and sit down and read two pages. Between looking at the beautiful illustrations and reading about so many amazing women in our history, my imagination runs wild! I am inspired and enthralled every time I read Her Story. Of course, during this politically historic time in our country, reading this book is especially poignant.

Her Story is the perfect gift — for wedding showers, baby showers, graduations, birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, really for any occasion.

Mom, this is a really cool book!

Greer Hampton, age 12

When I first brought "Her Story" home and placed it on the coffee table in the living room, my 3-year old daughter was drawn to it almost immediately. She claimed it as her own and proceeded to place it on the nightstand in her room. Every night since, she chooses the remarkable women she wants Mommy to read about, from Mary Church Terrell to Wonder Woman. Thank you for your vision to inspire even the littlest of women like mine.

My first impression when I opened the book and saw the overwhelming number of women was... "WOW". I never thought there were so many omen in history that had tremendous roles and impacts on American history. "Her Story" is a great inspiration and a reminder of the many possibilities we can all accomplish no matter what gender, ethnicity, or age.

"We have many immigrants and new citizens who come into the store looking for books about American history. "Her Story" is one of the three books I recommend for them to read."
