Very educational

With as much coverage as women's suffrage gets, it was wonderful to learn about womens' fights in the workforce as well. Both are important subjects, but one is written about much more extensively than the other. Most of the names here are ones I'd never heard of, but their stories were fascinating. I would absolutely read more from this author. Full disclosure, I was given this book free in exchange for my honest review.
