A biographical account of the lives and careers of Maria Tallchief, Rosella Hightower, Marjorie Tallchief, and Yvonne Chateau. Rather than present a detailed treatment of the careers of these ballerinas, the author attempts to convey the accomplishments that the women were proudest of themselves. Thus, she relies heavily on anecdotes and reflections of the four. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
