Synopsis Columnist Gail Collins offers a through and engaging assessment of the role of women in American society over half a century, as she assesses how opportunities have changed since before the women's movement. Collins, who was there and knows, presents a prodigious amount of case studies and oral histories from women who were there. Many of them relate what today are stunning examples of the exclusion of women from key workplace experiences. Collins's research covers a wide range of experience and realms of everyday life--fashion, entertainment, schooling, home. Work, the media, etc. She notes key markers, including the fact that in 2008, a woman was a serious candidate for the presidency.
