I absolutely loved this book and definitely plan to purchase a paper copy of it for my women's studies collection. It covered an aspect of the Women's Rights movement that is hard to pin down. By looking at the movement through the bookstores we can see how the texts I have collected for years fit so well into the way the world changed in the 60s and 70s.

Not gonna lie. It took me a while to get through this one, but that is often the case with nonfiction for me. I am interested in the subject, pick up a book, read a little, put it down, pick it back up, and so on. Such is the case with this one, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I kept coming back to it, because the history and story fascinated me, and I wanted to stick with it to the end.

I felt the history lesson was particularly timely with so many bookstores, particularly independent bookstores going out of business with the rise of Amazon in the last several years. I hear they are trying to make a resurgence, and I hope they do, especially if we can get some with ideas like the heroines in Hogan's book.

Sadly I didn't get to review the book in time and my egalley expired. I have given this book an average score of 3 Stars and I am deeply sorry I didn't manage to review it. My apologies!
