Women who kept the lights : an illustrated history of female lighthouse keepers / Mary Louise Clifford, J. Candace Clifford.

Danger and loneliness were common themes in the lives of 140 women lighthouse keepers in the United States from 1776 to the mid-20th century. Most were appointed to succeed a deceased husband or father, and most appear to have borne the risks with fortitude and outright heroism. While the challenges and duties these women faced were similar, the authors have captured the uniqueness of each woman's experience.
