This is a fantastic look back into the lives of women in the 1960s during the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. We see through the eyes of the black maids and learn about the lives they live, both as part of lives of the white families they serve and their own personal lives. We also get a glimpse of the white women's world through the eyes of a young radical, a young woman learning to buck the system and realizing that the status quo in her part of the world should no longer be upheld. It might be easier to relate to the black women, the working women, rather than the white women, to whom social acceptance is the pinnacle of their own lives. An intriguing look back in history and an amazing story about women.
