I really can't explain my feelings in words. Look at the subject first then read on. They are all by Dr. Jill Ker Conway (shes a phd). The titles are The Road from Coorain (also a Exxon Mobil Masterpiece Theater movie as well), True North, and A Women's Education. Is she orginally from New South Wales, Australia. Came to the United States for graduate school, but stayed there after that, but was Canada as well for 6 years. Boys you will also love reading them as well. Thank you.Fascinating look at the childhood of an independent woman Jill Kerr Conway went from an isolated Australian sheep farm in the bush to become the first president of Smith College. Her insatiable curiosity, her obvious intelligence, and her ability to transition from one culture to another with remarkable ease all account for her rise in academe.The best part of this book, IMO, is the first two thirds; after that, it gets a little pedantic, almost as if she knew she'd finished with the good stuff and was just hustling along to get it all down and be finished with it.
