from Atria
Price: $18.45
Customer Review:
I loved the contrasting early lives of the "girls" and the overlap of music business characters in their later years. The author clearly did an amazing amount of research and included many heretofore hidden details from "that world". I found the book easy to follow, in fact I really liked the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book certainly adds to my knowledge and understanding of colonial history.

Customer Review:
This is a very good book. My husband is from Maine so I knew where all the towns/cities were. It's very interesting. It has a lot of history in it and it's an eye opener for how women used to live. It has bits and pieces of the diary, it's not the whole diary but just the same it is very... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I love the 1920's, the whole era was such an amazing time of transformation for women and the whole US. The 1920's were really the first modern era and the girls who called themselves flappers were the antithesis of their parents Victorian ideals. In our modern world few relize what a change it was... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Harper Perennial

Customer Review:
I wish this book had more complete footnotes. It's informative and so well written -- so wry and funny -- but at times, when I check the chapter notes to see where the author is getting her information, the citation is not there. I found at least one error -- she says that, when a married Puritan... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from HarperOne
Price: $25.00
Customer Review:
I originally read this book several years ago and it transformed my view of the world. It woke me up to the idea that the chaos and brutality of the present world haven't always existed, and did not have to exist. The evidence that Eisler presents for the existence of prehistoric partnership... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
