About this title

Synopsis

Anne Evans is one of the most accomplished and least known of the many women who have contributed to making Colorado a special place. Her achievements in helping to develop the institutions devoted to the cultural enrichment of life in Denver and Colorado - art museums, public libraries, an art commission to further the ideal of a well-designed civic environment - are an extraordinary tale told well in this award winning book. Barbara Sternberg resembles Anne Evans in that she achieves much because she lets others take or share credit, including this wonderful book Anne Evans - A Pioneer in Colorado's Cultural History: The Things That Last When Gold Is Gone.
- Tom Noel, PhD University of Colorado, Denver

About the Author

Author Barbara Edwards Sternberg was born in England. She has a B.A. in Sociology from the London School of Economics. Emigrating to the United States with her husband-to-be, architect Eugene Sternberg (1915-2005,) she came with him to Denver. Barbara was awarded a Teaching Assistantship to complete her Master's degree in Urban Sociology at DU. While raising five children, she taught courses in urban sociology and race relations at the University of Denver and Colorado Woman's College. She was devoted to: the improvement of mental health services, advancement of civil rights and educational innovation. She wrote non-fiction articles and collaborated with her husband on articles and books about urban planning and architecture. Their final book was about Evergreen, their adopted hometown. Barbara Sternberg says that writing about Anne Evans was a deeply satisfying excursion into the history of Colorado and of Denver, especially their cultural development. Unexpected discoveries about Anne Evans came to light during the research for this book. Barbara expects that more revelations may come to light in the discussion aroused by the publication of this book.
