AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'We meet grandmothers who surreptitiously introduce their grandchildren to some of the more intricate workings of the world; others are clearly besotted and may even indulge their grand offspring shamelessly. Some, in their dotage, plot and scheme to set situations right. Others are alert to the risks inherent in interfering and do what they can to stay well out of the way ...... 'We become acquainted with a number of grand women who have been largely disregarded for much if not all of their lives, even more so in their declining years. And we get to meet strong, resolute women who have carved a place of their own in this country's history...All are conjured up here, on these pages, in these words. - Janet Hutchinson [from the publisher's website]
