"As the study of women's history has burgeoned over the last 25 years, the discovery--or the rediscovery--of remarkable women of the past has been a revelation. For those of us who grew up learning little about women's achievements and contributions, it is a joy to hear the voices of women once silenced, to reopen the record of lives largely forgotten. Dorothy Stuck and Nan Snow add to our growing, though still too small, repository of information about memorable women who received little notice or credit for the roles they played in the larger world." --Ruth B.

"As the study of women's history has burgeoned over the last 25 years, the discovery--or the rediscovery--of remarkable women of the past has been a revelation. For those of us who grew up learning little about women's achievements and contributions, it is a joy to hear the voices of women once silenced, to reopen the record of lives largely forgotten. Dorothy Stuck and Nan Snow add to our growing, though still too small, repository of information about memorable women who received little notice or credit for the roles they played in the larger world." --Ruth B. Mandel, Professor and Director, Eagleton Institute of Politics "As this biography so vividly conveys, Roberta understood our need to be world citizens long before the 'global economy' was recognized, and she believed with equal passion in her community and her globe. She had a unique down-to-earth way of urging involvement and citizen action. We need her talents today! So much that Roberta Fulbright said back before World War II remains uncomfortably apt that this book is quite contemporary, not only historical, in its impact. I admire how deftly Stuck and Snow have framed this biography to let Roberta Fulbright speak for herself. I find myself bringing this 'remarkable Fulbright' into conversation frequently since I read it. She comes alive in these pages and I catch myself quoting her tart observation often." --Jan Piercy, U.S. Executive Director, The World Bank
