In Anonymous in Their Own Names , Susan Henry has told with sensitivity and verve the story of three modern women of achievement whose lives have been overlooked in the rush to celebrate their famous husbands. Through excavating the unknown lives of Doris E. Fleischman, Ruth Hale, and Jane Grant (married to journalism greats Edward L. Bernays, Heywood Broun, and Harold Ross), Henry has illuminated the history of professional women, feminism, and family relationships in the twentieth century. She has also reminded us of the deep roots of male preferment in our culture. Henry's book is a major contribution to the study of gender and biography which all readers will enjoy. --Lois Banner, author of Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox and Intertwined Lives: Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, and Their Circle , and Professor of History and Gender Studies, University of Southern California

Henry... is at her best showing how these conflicted feminists balanced a multitude of professional and personal tasks. <br>- Publishers Weekly
