"“An easy read, but not at all lightweight; it is painstakingly researched, attractively illustrated and thoroughly referenced. This fascinating book is highly recommended.” -- Signals Magazine - Published by the Australian National Maritime Museum ""This is a book that celebrates women’s capability and determination while maintaining a sense of humour and humanity about its subjects. The lives of the lighthouse women were and are extraordinary and so is this treasury of their stories."" -- Kete Books ""A unique, eloquent, and impressively informative study, Guiding Lights: The Extraordinary Lives of Lighthouse Women by Shona Riddell is an extraordinary and highly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Women's Biography & History collections in general, and Lighthouse History supplemental studies reading lists in particular."" -- Midwest Book Review"
