pickThis book was absolutely brilliant!!! What could‘ve been a dry drudgery was in fact a riveting page turner. Anne Perkins covers 5 women and many others too as they become the first women to be admitted to Yale in 1969. This book explores much more than just the early days of coed education, it is follows the Vietnam War, segregation, the feminist movement and equal rights for women and minorities. This is truly #BookClubWorthy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Suet624 I stacked it pretty darn quickly after reading your post. 😁 this time in history does not feel like ancient history to me. I feel like it will always be very present for me. 4y
