I read the review in the NY Times and snapped the book up.<br /><br />It was ok, but lacked the excitement I was expecting.

Women's rights are human rights. Pretty dry stuff however the stories themselves are truly inspiring.
The point of the book - Women's progress is progress for the world as a whole: * When women's education increases,* When women's earnings rise,* When maternal health care is better,* When violence against women decreases,* The entire community thrives. The book is written by the Vital Voices current CEO. Vital Voices w...

life at the Russian Royal court circa 1760
I really think the author caught what life, and the people who lived it, was like at the royal court of Empress Elizabeth of `all the Russias' toward the end of her reign circa 1760. It was an enjoyable, interesting read with little depth of character - I felt I knew the era better than the characters by the end.<br ...

This story is entertaining on its own
The writing is quite good and humorous, although the language would never be in my house let alone one built by Austen. More of a back story on the parents could have been hugely entertaining although I didn't find anything appealing in the family. I think if you don't expect Austen you can enjoy the zaniness of the st...

As a child in the 1960's myself (too young to remember JFK but old enough to remember RFK) this look back by a baby boomer caught up in the time's counterculture fervor is riveting.
