Garner, Leah Beach. Pioneer Women of Genesee County. [Flint, MI]: DAR, 1935.

HATHI Trust Digital Library version http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015071338530 indicates a 50-pp. typescript "Prepared for the Genesee Chapter DAR." No table of contents; the text weaves names into narrative, and headers focus on towns. Mrs. Bert M. Garner begins, "The writer of this narrative has found it necessary to weave bits of history around the pioneer women of Genesee County and their families else not much of a paper would she have been able to produce. Not so much has been recorded about the women of that early day as about the men" (1).

Gilman, Agness Geneva, Gertrude Marcelle Gilman. Who's Who in Illinois: Women-Makers of History. Chicago: Eclectic, 1927.

Lists approximately 150 women from Illinois in alphabetical order, with one-to-two page biographies of each. The table of contents divides the women up by their hometowns, listed alphabetically. A plurality of the women listed are from Chicago. The entries are alphabetical by last name; married names appear like others in capital letters, with the personal name in smaller caps below, e.g. Mrs. Laurence Marcellus Larson/ Lillian May Dodson Larson (138). Biographies are from two paragraphs to less than two pages long; a standard structure is a paragraph on significant occupation and accomplishment, a paragraph on parentage, education, training, husband and children if any, and perhaps short notice in a final paragraph on memberships or activities. The entries conclude with the present "Address:"; this may get down to the house number. Jane Addams appears early in the list; many of the women are teachers, administrators, academics, writers (including genealogy and history), musicians, some lawyers and politicians. Some are European immigrants, and some Jews are included (199). (The addresses are within blocks or even houses of where Alison Booth grew up!) A sticker on the inside front cover displays a fireplace with ornate mantel set into wood-panelled walls, flanked by the U.S. and Illinois flags on ornamented stands; this plate is inscribed "Property of/ The Chapter House Corporation/ of the Daughters of the American Revolution/ of the District of Columbia." A blue ink inscription on the facing free endpaper first began "Presented," the word crossed out and "Written inserted above to read: "Written by/ Agnes Geneva Gilman/ and/ Gertrude Marcelle Gilman/ 1927" and "Presented by/ Mrs. Helen Orr Watson,/ Susan Riviere [Risier?] Hetzel Chapter."

Gilmore, Rose Long. Davidson County Women in the World War, 1914-1919. Nashville: Advisory Council; Foster & Parkes, 1923.

Large, glossy, expensively produced book. Many individual photographs of women mentioned, as well as many group photographs. Some pages, under running headers of the title of the book, list in no evident order "each fallen hero of Davidson County in the World War" (14). Organized by groups women were members of, such as "War Work Council, Southern Presbyterian Church" and "Department of Woman's Work, Nashville Chapter, A.R.C." Lists thousands upon thousands of women. Many black and white photographs of groups and individuals and some three-color or red-and-grey-scale illustrations such as banners and posters. "Miss Ellen Stokes as she appeared as 'Joan of Arc,' n the French Independence Day Parade, in Nashville, July 14, 1918," reads the caption on the full-page profile portrait of an armored mailden on horseback (441). "World War Work of Colored Women of Davidson County," with group portrait and a single portrait, fills two and a half pages at the very end; it also features a group portrait captioned "Charter Members of Fisk University Auxiliary, Nashville Chapter, A. R. C." with list of names of those seated and knitting (507-9). Index.

Glover, [Elizabeth Rosetta Scott], Lady. Great Queens: Famous Women Rulers of the East. Edited by Rosetta M. Fairfax. London: Hutchinson, 1927; [1928].

No publication date. Red cloth binding. "Dedicated to my dear little Granddaughter Benita" in small caps. Epigraph from Maurice Baring: "Nevertheless new cities shall arise and new shapes of beauty, and son that shall seem to the hearers immortal, until the world itself shall end. And when the word is ended there shall be new worlds, and these too shall live and die, eternal and punctual, even as the blossoms of spring." Foreword dated November 12, 1927, by Rosetta Fairfax, pp. 7-9: "It has been a labour of love to write a foreword for this last book of my dear mother. The MS. was in Messrs. Hutchinson's hands when she passed away peacefully on February 8th of this year....[T]he modern practice of having books written by paid professionals is one which I find repellent....In the last few months of her life my mother was disappointed at her inability to get photographs of some of the various Queens of whose lives she was writing" (7). Fairfax leaves the text largely unaltered, adds photographs, and apologizes for the many unattributed quotations in her mother's biographies "compiled from rough notes" of books Fairfax has been unable to retrieve (8-9). Author's Note: the book was written to refute the idea "that women have never accomplished anything really great in any branch of the world's work. In England this may have been true to a certain extent prior to the passing of the Married Women's Property Act of 1870" (11). Her selection of Eastern women "have been chosent" to show "to what heights the women of the Asiatic, African, and Polynesian races can rise, given the opportunity, though they are frequently rather disparagingly spoken of as 'poor down-trodden Orientals' or 'natives'" (12). Preface ostensibly by Glover: "...I have discarded mere tradition as far as possible, and the following sketches of the lives of notable women rulers are founded on fact....I have been most forcibly struck by the colossal importance of the female throughout Nature." Motherhood warrants woman's "responsibility." A long paragraph attests to the intelligence of the elephant, and dominance of "the Queen Elephant," followed by a short rhetorical question/paragraph on the queen bee. History shows "how notably prosperous Britain has always been under the sovereignty of a Queen" (16). Contents organized under India, China, Japan, Palmyra, Assyria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Abyssinia, New Zealand, Hawaii, South Sea Islands. Those named Begam in the table of contents are listed under "The Rulers of Bhopal." Eleven portraits, including frontispiece of The Dowager Empress of China. The prose of the biographies is unremarkable modern historical narrative. "It is difficult to understand the Oriental mind and its outlook on life, so imbued is it with the spirit of the past, with ritual, and with superstitions absolutely unthinkable by the practical and progressive European.... little can be really known of the inner workings of a country like China" (147). The queens are portrayed in a positive light.
