This book is a great resource that profiles eight strong-minded women who stepped outside the boundaries of subservience to fight for personal and political freedoms, and helped light the path for women who would come after them. Eight Bright Candles offers provides short biographies on women, such as Dona Marina and Catarina de San Juan.
