When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $16.37

Customer Review:

I love this book. I always thought of "the women's movement" as something that happened in "history" and it's hard for me to conceive how recent this "history" is. Because of this book I have a deeper understanding of where we are now and what still needs to change while still being amazed at how... more info

While I may not cite all kinds of wonderful information like all the other people who have reviewed this, I can honestly say this is one of the best books I ever read.

Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation
from Atria

Customer Review:

My wife loves this book and she said that she now looks at these ladies in a new light and more favorable because she understands them better now.
And by the way, she is a bio freak so that speaks well for this book.

I'll Fly Away: Further Testimonies from the Women of York Prison (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $7.69

Customer Review:

I think Wally Lamb has a quality in his writing that speaks of his ability to capture a woman's voice. He is delicate but TRUE and REAL with this collection. I can literally visualize not only each woman giving her testimony but Lamb's weighing its importance and proper place in this collection.... more info

Ladies of Liberty CD: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation
from HarperAudio
Price: $4.85

Customer Review:

I always like listening to Cokie Roberts on NPR. She sounds so level-headed and reasonable. Either Cokie can't write, or her publisher has cut back on copyeditors.
On page 362 is this: "When the Troy Female Seminary opened in September 1821 and attracted young women from around the country, as... more info

A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812
from Vintage
Price: $7.75

Customer Review:

I actually was a bit disappointed when I read the book. I thought it would have more of the actual diary entries, and less of the author's interpretations of what Martha was trying to say. I think if it had, it would have been a much more interesting read.

The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future
from HarperOne
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:

When I first read this book over a decade ago, I found myself shocked and angry about the violently aggressive and coldblooded way our peaceful, responsible and communal world was effectively hijacked by the reptilian mentality - and not just once but repeatedly over the last 6,000 years.
But... more info

Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $7.96

Customer Review:

The book is a fascinating read about the so called "Lost Generation". I liked the writing style and the text was backed up with sound research. Very insightful.
What I found a little aggravating was the number of typos due to the scanning process for the Kindle version. I would have given this... more info
