ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In order to acknowledge those who have helped produce this book, I must go back considerably further than most scholars usually do because I am truly indebted to those who have influenced and supported my education since I can first remember. Several women in my life were my first teachers: my mother, my grandmother, and the women who taught me at Komensky Elementary School and Skinner Classical SchoolSherry Sharvat, Fran Allen, and Shirley Patterson, among others. Each of them in her own way instilled in me a love of learning and an interest in history that drew a child like me down the unlikely path to a doctoral degree and the writing of a book. As I continued to develop intellectually, the teachers at the Latin School of Chicagoincluding Jill Acker, Ernestine Austin, Ingrid Dorer Fitzpatrick, Lillian Mackal, and especially David Spruancecontinued to develop my passion for intellectual inquiry and a love of history and writing. They gave me the foundation that took me to college and prepared me for an unexpected academic career.
