Vera Menchik: A Biography of the First Women’s World Chess Champion, with 350 Complete Games by Robert B.
Tanner
is scheduled for release this fall/ winter from McFarland.
"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. Hers was a
fascinating career as an independent professional in an era where this
was rare for women in any endeavor."
