Good fun! This book is a good intro to the entire "Uppity Women" series by the author: brief stories of many dozens of women from about 2500 B.C. to 1900 A.D., who stepped up and beyond the limitations and tradtions of their times. She has obviously done considerable research. The history is solid, but the writing style is far from stiff and scholarly: alternately casual, conversational, flippant, funny, punny, sometimes suggestive--or combinations of all of the above.
