"[This is] an exciting book, painful and exhilarating too. What do they have to tell us, these letters from the feminist attic? Why publish them now? For a number of reasons. First, experience is not all that different. These essays record the continuing effort necessary if women are to become the human creatures they want to be." --Elizabeth Janeway, author of Daisy Kenyon "These brief, often bitter-sweet reflections on their lives by a group of 1920s feminists reveal aspects of our struggle from a time that is too readily overlooked. Elaine Showalter's provocative and interesting introduction makes clear that we neglect this period at our peril. In calling our attention to facts we might prefer to ignore, Showalter performs an important service." --Alix Kates Shulman, author of Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen
