Sisters of Influence

This real-life Little Women is the fascinating story of three of the six Fay sisters between 1850 and 1920. In their day, they were known to many, but they have fallen into obscurity. Andrea Friederici Ross intertwines their unusual stories, showing how the Fay sisters, through their focuses on women’s education, club work, and reform efforts, exemplified women’s striving to escape the restrictive norms of the Victorian Era.
