This book does a great job of focusing on a specific topic in each chapter, providing details from various womens' lives, some with very differing perspectives on the subject. After watching one of my favorite movies showing the heroine living aboard ship with her husband, I'd always wanted to know more about a woman's life aboard.

I did alot of questioning the author's interpretation of a woman or man's words. You can't get someone's tone or inflections accurately from their writings, of course it's her prerogative to voice her interpretation, and I to take it or leave it.
