Summary note
"Not only was Vera Menchik the first woman in the history of chess to compete on an equal basis with the top male players, she absolutely dominated women's chess during the last 17 years of her life. In this book her games are brought to life utilizing her own annotations, as well as the notes of her contemporaries"-- Provided by publisher.
