Zusammenfassung:M. Carey Thomas (1857-1935) was an extraordinary woman whose career spanned the Victorian and modern worlds
Her story is superbly told in a biography that resonates with the complicated interplay between her necessarily hidden private life and her eminently visible and successful public life as president of Bryn Mawr College, as a founder of the Johns Hopkins medical school and the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, as a leader in the women's suffrage movement, and as the preeminent spokeswoman for education around the turn of the century
