Customer Reviews

Beautiful biography and history of the Pacific Northwest

I thought the personal details of this early media magnate's life added richness and depth to this beautiful biography, Not only do we get to learn the story of this accomplished women's career, but what a glorious introduction to the history of the Pacific Northwest. For someone who normally doesn't read biographies, this book was hard to put down!

Northwest Women

As a native of Western Washington I enjoyed this book. Not only for the local history, but for the story of a woman. She was a woman who could have played cards and held tea parties, but she chose to use her brains, and money, to bring quality television to the Northwest. I, and many other baby boomer children, benefited from the efforts. Dorothy reinvented herself after the deaths of her father, brother and husband. It's a profile in courage, to borrow a JFK book title.
