Title: Surprising Combination
Review: I must say, based on the cover and the title I was expecting to find things in the book to dislike that I didn't. Shahade succeeds where many can't in providing a really comprehensive description of women in chess without the writing becoming dense or too mechanically structured. Very honest, very fun, autobiographical without being pretentious or self absorbed. I am only being captious when I write in this review that some pages on the psychology/neuropsychology of gender differences might have made it even better! Shahade has the courage to identify herself as and breech feminist topics without being preachy or ideological. Also, photographs that go well and add to the text, which many books do not do well. Good job Jennifer!
