This book was a nice piece of HIstorical Fiction and the characters were interesting. I had thought that it would focus more on the woman's suffrage movement but in truth it is only briefly touched upon. Rose is an interesting woman who struggles with her femininity as much as women of today. She loves her job but feels the pressure of others to conform to the more conventional rolls of a woman (wife, mother, home maker). It was interesting to watch her develop in the book and it was a great story, but the sufferage movement was such a small part of it! The reviews on the book made it seem like it was some big statement on our goverment opression etc. but I didn't feel that. It is a great book that follows the maturing of a young women in a way that allows us to get a new glimps at ourselves and what we may truely want.
