When Everything Changed

Gail Collins, a former New York Times Editor, recently wrote an amazing book called When Everything Changed. This book recounts the story of American women from 1960 to 2008 and all the things that changed in between.



For those who think that women's issues are not important and that the feminist movements were unsuccessful, read this book. The history of American women over the last 50 years is just astounding. We have made gigantic leaps in terms of our rights and how society views us. We are no longer relegated to the strengths and weaknesses once bestowed upon us by our culture and environments. Most people recognize that the number of women in the workplace has changed dramatically, but people don't realize that now women can take out credit cards, play sports, attend schools without discrimination, and wear pants everyday!! We cannot take these important strides for granted. The power of the changes that have taken place is hard to ignore. Let's relish in the knowledge that women are getting it done. Pick up the book!
