It's helpful and comforting at times to read about the bizarre ideas people not long ago had about women and the chaos that would ensue if women did reckless things like exercise or wear clothing that didn't restrict breathing or the ability to pass through doorways. It puts progress in perspective. I should have gotten the physical copy of this book because I suspect the illustrations are amusing. (A title from Build Your Library, level 6.)
