Summary: Delightful reading
Comment: This book is a delight to read, both for the breadth of events included and for the writing itself. Some events are clearly important - such as the founding of the ILGWU - others are less well-known, such as the passing of the Sheppard-Towner Act, the first federally funded health program. Ms Felder's dry wit lightens some topics, like the history of the bra and the premiere of Ozzie and Harriet, but she keeps her focus on the deeper significance. Events are chronological, so you can read straight through or browse -- and enjoy the photos and art too.

Summary: Must Read for Anyone Interested in Am. in the 20th Century
Comment: This is a truly impressive performance that synthesizes an amazing amount of information to highlight the crucial developments women made in America in the 20th century and the factors that affected not just women but all of us. Impressively researched and gracefully written, the book is a must, particularly for mothers to give their daughters and vice versa.

Well done, Ms. Felder, and keep up the good work.
