Book Recommendations: Mid-Century Women (non-fict)
I have an ongoing interest with the lives of women during the mid-century years. What work they found, the challenges they faced, their victories and their battles.
If you enjoy non-fiction 20th century history with a focus on women, here are five stand-out non-fiction reads you won't want to miss. (All links go to Goodreads).

“People who weren’t fans of the actress didn’t understand that through much of the sixties, Doris Day played independent women, characters who owned their own businesses, ran households, and often didn’t need a man. The irony was, she usually ended up with a pretty good one: Rock Hudson, James Garner, and Cary Grant, to name a few.”

“And if you say one word about inconveniencing me, I’ll either charge you mileage or start up a tab that you can repay when you’re in the mood.” I blushed. “That’s not what I meant,” he said with a smile. “But it’s nice to know where your mind went.” He winked and pulled his keys out of his jeans.”
