Published March 12. 2021 11:33AM  Jim Izzo, Special to The Times Since March is Women’s History Month, what better time to introduce an excellent book that honors 13 Connecticut women by profiling their lives and their “lasting social, political, and cultural contributions to both their own state and to their nation.” The book is “More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Connecticut Women” by Antonia Petrash. Size doesn’t matter, not in terms of the length of this book (150 pages) or in terms of geographical area (Connecticut is the third smallest of the 50 states). These women demonstrated determination and strength of character, breaking barriers “to advance women’s roles in the arts, on the battlefield, and in education, exploration, and commerce,” as Petrash writes.
