John Blundell presents his latest book, Ladies for Liberty: Women Who Made a Difference in American History. Following his literary focus, he speaks about the circumstances and facts that led him to research and elaborate on his findings. He details the reasons that compelled him to choose the women on his publication and makes a brief explanation of their life, work, and mainly their endeavor for freedom, each one performed during their lifetime. He also comments on the features and values these women had, which ultimately brought them to be influential in the development of American society, within their different historical political, economic, and social context. Finally, he offers his point of view on the recent biographical movie that represents Margaret Thatcher’s life.
