Title: spunky young women in the Vietnam war era
Review: It's rare to find such a book. This "coming of age" novel introduces us to spunky, working class women trying to find their way sexually, politically and economically during the Vietnam war era. The reader feel their victories, their pain and their anxiety as they grapple with relationships before abortion was legal, as they seek to speak out when politics belonged to men, and as they fight for their futures when women were expected to work in the factory or get married. The book rings true to the era on all these accounts.While first and foremost a good read, the book does a fine job of interweaving the issues of the time. It might well be used in high school classes as supplementary reading, to bring the Vietnam War era to life.
