We must always be grateful to the women of the suffrage movement in the 20's and beyond. This was literally an eye-opener for me, and probably for many who don't know or that need a refresher course in this historical movement to establish women's voting rights. As a reader one feels frustrated for their plight, and angered by the obstacles placed upon them, including those by President Wilson and his staff. These women went through so much including arrest and mistreatment. I was appalled!Additionally, I did like the glimpse into the theater life, including vaudeville and comedy acts of the period, as well as the costs of living day to day in that time period. The rationing of foods, what groceries could be bought on what days, etc., during wartime, and even post-war. Definitely recommended for its historical value, but actually it's not my cup of tea insofar as reading subjects go.
