Reviews:
"All six segments express...women's desire for independence, self-sufficiency and the important role of having a voice in the decision-making process...fast paced, yet informative...geared toward the advanced high school student and above...has a place in all collections in the areas of Women's Studies, History, Sociology and Anthropology. Highly Recommended." Belinda L. Robinson-Jones, MC Journal
