ABOUT THIS BOOK:
They Also Served provides a unique look at some of the country's most remarkable women who happened to have a strong Alabama connection either by birth or as the site of their work. Their individual stories, spanning two centuries, are vastly separated by history, personal talent, and social circumstances; yet, they are distinctly similar in the amount of time, determination, and energy the subjects devoted to their causes.
The events of the lives of the twenty-five women are traced from birth to death in an effort to show not only what their contributions were but also what might have motivated them to keep going, sometimes against great odds. The individual portraits bring the written descriptions into focus, and the additional photographs provide a special bonus.
Reference to the historical events that parallel their lives provide clues into their personalities and motivations and also help the reader put their activities into perspective. The lives of these women, all who are deceased, bring interesting, informative reading to general audiences and provide excellent role models for young people.(Alabama Women's Hall of Fame).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
