Reviews

"Ludtke . . . conducts an illuminating tour of the profound social and moral changes that have occurred over the past generation, as played out in the lives of more than thirty women, including herself. . . . Ludtke's book is a lesson that . . . intensely personal storytelling coupled with solid research can illuminate a topic in ways that more traditional journalism may not."--Dale Mezzacappa, "Boston Globe
