A very interesting book. The stories are told through letters and essays of those who lived the historical experiences. And the range of experiences are extremely varied. It allows you to really walk in the shoes of so many women's experiences, most of which I could never have imagined.

LOVED the pictures and the personal letters and writings of women of each era, however this could have been SO much more interestingly written
