This is the women's history book that I've been needing to read for years, I just didn't know it until now. I always wondered how women's rights came about. I figured maybe it had something to do with Rosie the Riveter-type ladies taking over their husbands' jobs and refusing to give them up. However, with this book, I learned that the women's rights movement began much earlier.
The book is clear and very organized, I recommend it for those who are curious about women's U.S. history.

Interesting topic in a short and easy to read book, with lots of actual documents in the back.
