womens interest

I think that this book should be assigned to every economics class, its a very interesting book about how women got their position in this society. It also acknowledges how women struggle to be were their at right about now. And she espresses herself so well by characterising other females and how they have achieved in your environment. I, as a reader got an interesting much powerful vibe from this book, it showed me how a womens roel in this society is very hard to play and kepp the ball rolling.

women's interests

I think that this book should be assigned as a must read book for the economics class. Its so interesting how Sara Ann Friedman expresses herself and how well she acknowledges other women that have been successful in our society today. She shows us, women how strong and loyal we must be till one day we won't have discrimination against us. It also puts us in a situation that you want to do your best to identify yourself as the best women you can be in our environment. Its a wonderful book. I think everyone should read it or at leat take a glance at it.

A very good book

When I first started reading the book, I thought the book was somewhat boring, but as I got further into the book, I got hooked on it. It made open my eyes and realize that all of us, women, have independence now. Back in the 1960's everything was different and everyone had the same perspective of what a woman should or shouldn't be. Even women back then thought that their purpose in life what to be housewives and take care of their children. Now its different and many women don't even want to marry and continue their career. This book shows all this and is very realistic.
