Customer Reviews

Excellent book.

This book tells of everything from the beginning to current. It includes everything from politics to sports.

An excellent reference

First, understand that this is a reference work. Second, understand that a mind-bogling amount of work went into it. (Imagine writing a chronology of all history and you begin to get the idea.) I can't believe that it is truly comprehensive in a single volume, nonetheless, it has been very helpful most of the times I have referred to it. Naturally each woman receives only two or three sentences of comment. I think this would be indispensable to teachers of world history and to rabid women's history buffs like myself.
