Sisters of Sinai http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/06/books/review/Alexander-t.html?_r=1 "Agnes and Margaret Smith, identical Scottish twins, whose travels to St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai desert resulted in the electrifying discovery of one of the oldest manuscripts of the Gospels ever found." Makes me wonder how many historical women we will never know about because there were no written record of them. Thanks to a book review, I learned of and read about these women and I am hoping this site will help to connect me with more information about other historical women.
