"John Blundell has done a superb job of identifying 20 ladies who believed in the principles of liberty and a society based on free-market principles. Several are well known but others not so well known. This book brings to light the stories of those who are not so well known which are so important. It is must reading." --Sally C Pipes, President, Pacific Research Institute, San Francisco

"Ladies for Liberty is an inspiring read for any American, but especially for the scores of modern-day female patriots whose ways were paved by the outstanding women in this book. Blundell moves chronologically through American history and the freedoms for which women have fought freedom from government oppression and over-taxation, freedom from slavery, freedom to vote, and freedom to succeed as an entrepreneur. The fact that we have come full circle underlines the importance of continuing the fight to protect these freedoms, and makes Ladies for Liberty all the more timely and significant. Thank you, Mr. Blundell, for providing so many superb examples of women after whom modern-day female patriots can model ourselves." -- --Jamie Storey, Past President, The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii
