Women have been part of Long Island's past for thousands of years but are nearly invisible in the records and history books. From pioneering doctors to dazzling aviatrixes, author Natalie A. Naylor brings these larger-than-life but little-known heroines out of the lost pages of island history. Anna Symmes Harrison, Julia Gardiner Tyler, Edith Kermit Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt all served as first lady of the United States, and all had Long Island roots. Beloved children's author Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden here, and hundreds of local suffragists fought for their right to vote in the early twentieth century. Discover these and other stories of the remarkable women of Long Island.

Inequality and injustice were baked into suburban development, but housing discrimination was a secondary expression of this, not a primary cause. As a result, equity-minded suburbs that focused on housing policy rather than employment opportunities were doomed to fail. Keogh hopes to motivate more effective approaches to contemporary inequity by changing our understanding of how it took shape historically"--
