It did suffer a little from my reading it at the same time as The Women in the Castle which seemed more unusual, however. <br /><br />BTW, have I asked if you ever watched the TV show, Homefront? I loved that show. Funny that Kyle Chandler and John Slattery went on to big careers afterwards but I am not sure if I have seen any of the actresses (many of whom were great) in other things.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-73273362275284032182018-05-21T13:40:08.049-06:002018-05-21T13:40:08.049-06:00I still need to read this one!

As s result of World War II, women throughout the world, and on a large scale, began to take on rolls usually excluded to them. In my opinion this accelerated the drive toward equality and had s positive effect on the world. Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
