Two new editions of titles in the Remarkable Women series are top picks for libraries looking for biographical profiles of women who made their marks in different states. The second edition of Christy Karras's Remarkable Utah Women selects seventeen strong women who made a name for themselves in a state oddly known for its religious rigidity and women's rights alike. The women featured here have achieved many things, from Emmeline B. Wells, who was president of both the Mormon Relief Society and the Women's Suffrage Association, and Reva Beck Bosone, the state's first female judge. New biographies have been added for this edition to profile activists and historians. Each book provides riveting insights that readers will find perfect for studying the states in general and women's lasting impact in particular, and deserves a place in any women's history collection that's strong in biographical inspection.-- Midwest Book Review

Author Information

Christy Karras comes from a long line of stubborn women who crossed oceans, married good men, toiled on farms, and generally did whatever it took to help their descendants thrive in the Beehive State. Born and raised in northern Utah, she graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in history. A former reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune and the Associated Press and editor for Wasatch Journal magazine, she writes about arts, culture, history, travel, and recreation for publications including the Seattle Times. Her other books include Scenic Driving: Utah as well as two motorcycle touring guides coauthored with Stephen Zusy. Now living in Seattle with her husband, Bill, she returns frequently to visit her beloved family, friends, and desert-mountain landscape in Utah.
