Elizabeth I. Marie Curie. Florence Nightingale. These are but a few of the names that have cemented women's place in history. However, there are countless other women whose names have not made it into textbooks yet whose lives and endeavors are equally remarkable. In ''That's Just How It Was'', author Mary Thorpe shares the inspiring true story of her grandmother as it converged with an extraordinary period in Irish history.
