Just in time for Women’s History Month, THEY CALLED US GIRLS by Kathleen C. Stone is a fascinating and inspirational book about female ambition and unorthodox paths toward fulfillment that is essential reading for women and girls today. Stone interviews seven unconventional women, all born before 1935, who broke the mold, defying expectations—as doctor, lawyer, artist, physicist, executive director, and intelligence officer. In insightful, personalized portraits that span a half-century, Stone weaves stories of female ambition, uncovering the families, teachers, mentors, and historical events that led to unexpected paths.

“They Called Us Girls, riveting and inspiring, illuminates the remarkable lives of amazing women born in the first half of the last century. Kathleen Stone’s subjects are diverse in their backgrounds and professions, but all are trailblazers whose quiet triumphs opened doors for us who follow behind. This is an important book.”
— Claire Messud, author of The Emperor’s Children and The Woman Upstairs
“They Called Us Girls is a reminder of what talented women once endured, and the stories it tells so deftly should continue to inspire us today. Not every barrier has disappeared.”
— Louis Menand, author of The Free World and Pulitzer Prize-winning The Metaphysical Club
