### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sweeping historical narrative of how to address the "Woman Question" in America
  

*by D***X on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019*

Loved this book. Persuasively argued and written for a lay audience. There's a foreword and afterword from 2004, but the 'motherhood as pathology' chapters will ring very true for anyone witnessing the modern day (e.g., internet) iterations of the mommy culture wars and put them into a fascinating context. There's some broad strokes painted that I'd quibble with, and the foreword sets a tone that is at odds with the rest of the book which has a bit more nuance. The other reviewers rightly point out that these authors continue with the white feminist tradition of largely ignoring non-white, non-middle class women, though as the book's thesis is about the rise of consumer culture and parallel rise of male experts who are selling things (books, advice, contraptions, sanitarium stays, etc, etc) to women with money, the omission largely makes sense (it is a different historical investigation to look at white male experts vis a vis minority/poor women). Really illuminating book that only occasionally needed to be thrown across the room as I learned of some new outrage!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Worthwhile Intro, Lacking Diversity and Representation
  

*by V***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018*

I purchased this book for a class assignment. It had a lot of information that I was not previously aware of which I appreciated it for. That said, I felt that it really lacked any intersectionality in its stories of women's experience so I would suggest reading something else if you are looking for a book about all women.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Book. Highly recommend.

Great book. A look at the history and evolution of attitudes towards and roles of women in society. Highly readable. Really good writers.
