PROBLEM: Great women's history . Not only the legal status but the personal outlooks of women changed immeasurably in the period this book covers; the subtitle speaks of space and power, but Deutsch has also given us a fine overview of intellectual change: what women thought, and why they thought in those ways, during an era of astonishing industrial and social development. Through her research, we can see why the women of Henry James were not the same as those of F. Scott Fitzgerald--and they were very different. We are used to sympathizing with the plight of working class women, and giving great credit to the founders of the settlement houses and political groups that helped them, but until now I had never realized how class differences affected attitudes, and how perfectly reasonable women of either set found great difficulty in understanding how those of the other thought and felt. This book has helped me get a better understanding of both groups. In recent months I've been reading heavily in Boston history and in women's history of this period. This book is far and away the best thing I've found. Having done historical research using primary sources, I can tell you this author has done an immense amount of work, and it has paid off. She uses not only the minutes of meetings and legal reports, but personal letters and contemporary novels to tell the story. She writes clearly, and the book is well organized. If you want a real feel for the lives of women during a period of tremendous change, this book is the best place I know to get it. Deutsch straightens out a lot of misconceptions, and helps to clarify an extremely complex period.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Should be titled: History of Plumbing for those behind the power curve. . I wanted to find out about modern plumbing (like PEX)and what kind of tools, code changes, etc. that are necessary for installing PEX plumbing. Not in this book. That information must have fallen through the cracks (no plumber joke intended). Author is stuck in the past. Needs to be updated, revised, or recycled. Kind of a bummer. Now I have a book that I can't use. Sweating copper...come on now. The rest of us have made it to the 21st century

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Favorite book of all time . I realize that reviews are wholly based on interpretation and opinion and I respect that. But I don't get people who don't like this book. No offense. That being said (or written, in this case), I loved this book. I found it entertaining, odd and hugely funny and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh. My grandmother wouldn't get this humor, so if you're her, don't buy it. Everyone else--go for it.

SOLUTION:
POS
