Reviews
"Finally--in Julie Scelfo's brilliant collection of portraits and vignettes, the Town Mothers of NYC loom as large as the Town Fathers, often towering over them. Edith Wharton, Margaret Sanger, Billie Holiday, Diana Vreeland, Zora Neale Hurston, and so many more. This is a book that you'll want to keep on your shelf and pass along to the next generation." --Teresa Carpenter, Pulitzer Prize-winner and bestselling author of New York Diaries 1609-2009 "Julie Scelfo has produced a must-read for anyone who loves New York, filling every page with fresh stories and great details about the fascinating and important women we all should know, but don't. Now I'm no longer embarrassed by my ignorance of the REAL history of the city. This book filled that huge gap." --Jonathan Alter, New York Times bestselling author of The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies, "This book on New York City history is more than a pretty cover. It is a testament to the lives of impressive women in the Big Apple." _ Chronogram, "Paired with striking illustrations by artist Hallie Heald, The Women Who Made New York offers a visual look at some of the most vibrant women in the history of one of the world's most vibrant cities." -- Bustle, "From artists to activists, an homage to the unheralded hands and hearts who built one of humanity's most iconic cities... Rigorously researched and elegantly written." _ Brainpickings, "These women were the original prizefighters...who built the best city in the world."-- Jessica Bennett , New York Times columnist and author of Feminist Fight Club, "Finally finally finally: the mighty women whose formidable ghosts still walk the streets of New York get their due."-- Virginia Heffernan , New York Times Magazine contributor and author of Magic and Loss: The Internet as Art, "Forgetting-and belatedly remembering-women is a historiographical tradition as old as history itself. The Women Who Made New York positions itself as an antidote to that process...With its romantic illustrations and requisite three pages dedicated to Joan Didion, it would be easy to dismiss The Women Who Made New York as mere gifting bait for anyone with a niece at Barnard College. (And to be clear, your niece probably will love this.) But for every tale that makes you pump your fist in triumph, there is one that makes you clench your jaw in anger." _ New York Times Book Review, "Julie Scelfo's astonishing collection of fabulously fearless females reminds us that New York City has always been a . magnet for taboo-busting, rule-breaking women."-- Simon Doonan , author of The Asylum: True Tales of Madness from a Life in Fashion and creative ambassador for Barneys New York, "Paired with striking illustrations by artist Hallie Heald, The Women Who Made New York offers a visual look at some of the most vibrant women in the history of one of the world's most vibrant cities." _ Bustle, "This book on New York City history is more than a pretty cover.

In this glittering volume, Julie Scelfo provides the indisputable answer: not much. These women are my muses." --Zac Posen "What an inventive and important book! And long overdue. Ms. Scelfo has produced a history of New York City which we've never read, filled with insightful portraits of the women who influenced all facets of our city.

This book is the definition of a must-read!" --Nancy Bass Wyden, co-owner of the Strand Bookstore, New York City "A welcome antidote to male-centered history, The Women Who Made New York should be taught in every New York high school. I long for the day when books like this become unnecessary." --David Byrne, award-winning composer, songwriter, singer, and author, best known for being the frontman of the seminal NYC New Wave/punk band Talking Heads, "After centuries of women's work being written out of history, The Women Who Made New York gracefully and passionately rewrites that wrong."-- Irin Carmon , New York Times bestselling co-author of Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, "Finally -- in Julie Scelfo's brilliant collection of portraits and vignettes, the Town Mothers of NYC loom as large as the Town Fathers, often towering over them."-- Teresa Carpenter , Pulitzer Prize-winner and bestselling author of New York Diaries 1609-2009, "Finally--in Julie Scelfo's brilliant collection of portraits and vignettes, the Town Mothers of NYC loom as large as the Town Fathers, often towering over them.
