A Must Read for all Women's History Fans

This book is a wealth of information for ANYONE who enjoys women's history, as well as labor, entertainment and political history. The author of the book, Joyce Antler, has done a phenomenal amount of research to bring all these women to life. The only criticism I have is that the title might put off some readers, thinking that religion is the main theme. In fact, although religion plays an important role in all these women's lives, thier personal histories are fascinating regardless of their religious background. This book made me want to get full biographies of all the women mentioned in the book!
