Perhaps I just was a poor US History student but there seemed to be some important historical points that were assumed as knowledge, which got a bit confusing. That being said, the book did not get trapped in political discussions or accounts of historical events. The text really helped me to understand the life and mentality of a woman who worked to free herself, and covered many angles of culture. Enjoyable, but I don't know if I would have stuck with the book if it hadn't been an assignment.
