Critics Review
“Inspiring, bizarre, riotous, moving, and sad … a truly good read.”–USA Today
“Unpredictable and fresh… . Like the experience of their most famous classmate, the lives of these Wellesley College graduates remind us how much and how little has changed for women during the past thirty years.” –People
“Searching, sensitive… . That old feminist catchphrase ‘the personal is the political’ echoes throughout the book with a mature grasp of nuance and contradiction.” –Newsday
“Engrossing … finely etched… . Horn turns a group portrait into a meditation on woman’s essential nature, her proper place and role.” –The New York Times Book Review
“Excellent… . A laudably even-handed account.” –The Wall Street Journal
“A vivid and often humorous capsule history of the women who helped revolutionize America.” –Cokie Roberts, author of We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters
