Author: SMITH, LOUISE A.
Title: Mary Baker Eddy: Founder Christian Science (Women of Achievement)
Description: Chelsea House Pub. 1991. (ISBN: 9781555466527). Library Binding, 0.5 x 7.5 x 9.5 inches. This entry in the ``American Women of Achievement'' series, though it relies on others' interpretations and biographies, creates a balanced portrait of the religious leader, allowing readers to decide for themselves about Eddy's spirituality and her contributions. The founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist, lived a devout childhood, but it was a later, violent fall on an icy sidewalk (and her subsequent healing) that began the steps toward her worldwide ministry. She lived to a vigorous old age. Adhering to series convention, Smith refers variously to her subject as ``Baker'' (her maiden name), ``Glover,'' ``Patterson,'' or ``Eddy,'' depending on her most recent nominal transformation the results of seemingly inconsequential marriages, all of which ended in widowhood or divorce.
