Customer Reviews

If it interests you, go for it

The book was well constructed and collaborated. It is very informative for any young preteen/teenage girl. It has a fair amount of information such as body works, courting & marriage, women through history and much more. This book is a bit dry but if information about women and miscalleanous things interests you, go for it.
