I'm honestly a little befuddled by the rave reviews of this one. It's informative, but it's essentially an intro to gender studies textbook in a more readable format -- I didn't see anything revolutionary in its content, nor coverage of any truly new ground. The book seems to be aimed just at newcomers to historical feminism; for that audience, it's an excellent starting place.

This is a good primer in feminist history. It condenses A LOT of information and makes it easy to understand.
