The most interesting thing about this book is that it has stayed fairly readable over the decades. On the other hand I never quite figured out what the point was of most of what she says. Most of it I agree with, but it doesn't seem to be leading anywhere.
The common thread running through each of these articles is an interest and concern that the wisdom of the past should not be forgotten in our enthusiasm for the present.
