This book has a lot of promise and a seemingly good message, but it does not succeed. The author is too long-winded and seems obsessed with the sexual aspect of the post-World War II American woman's problem. In my opinion she does not focus enough on the educational aspect. The book could have been condensed to half its size, and that would have made for a much better read. You could skip a page or two and not miss anything important. I found myself bored with the repetition and rushing to get through it. Basically, it's a bunch of words speckled with a profound thought every 100 pages or so. However, for someone looking for a timeline of women's history in the early to mid 1900s, chapter 4 is very good.
