В процессе написания книги мы прочитали, просмотрели и прослушали множество книг, статей, некрологов, радио-и телепрограмм и сайтов. Особенно часто мы обращались к проверенным друзьям: The Guardian, New York Times, History Today, каналу BBC, Смитсоновскому институту, Telegraph, London Review of Books, The Times, Independent, The Atlantic, Washington Post, Japan Times, Encyclopaedia Britannica и различным музеям, фондам и организациям, которые сохраняют наследие этих прекрасных женщин.
