<ul><li>ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS is the first collective memoir of an entire generation of women--and what a generation it is. Women born between 1940-1945 danced to Elvis, went to college, burned our bras, married and had babies (or sometimes just had babies), climbed career ladders, and fought gender discrimination. ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS helps us understand the social contexts within which our stories have taken place. It is impressively conceived and vividly told. Susan Wittig Albert, best-selling author of the China Bayles mystery series, founder of the Story Circle Network </li></ul>
<ul><li>ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS is a unique combination of personal stories, research, history, art and the author's own reflections, engagingly written and beautifully presented. This is social history without the turgid prose, a compilation of interviews without the annoying interruption of flow, even a motivational book without the saccharine, in the appealing voice of a perceptive author. Women who want to reflect constructively on their own lives will find much that is helpful here, as will students seeking to understand an era that powerfully affects their own. Indeed, ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS offers to all a prototype of how to present a rich feast of important information in an appealing, accessible way. Geneva Overholser, Curtis B. Hurley Chair in Public Affairs Reporting, University of MO; and past Editor, Des Moines Register </li></ul>
<ul><li>... a masterful job of weaving many voices into a text that is easy to read and filled with Aha! moments. ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS is a stunning contribution to the history of the `movement in America. I take it as a given that ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS will be a textbook in every Women's Studies course across the country, but it deserves a wide readership among the general public as well. ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS helps me understand who those women were, the forces that shaped them, and how very rough and rocky the terrain was before they passed by. Beth Proudfoot, Director of the East of Eden Writers Conference </li></ul>
<ul><li>ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS will resonate not only with those born in the early 1940s but with those of us who arrived a decade later, when sex-segregated help-wanted ads still prevailed and when women interested in math and science careers were steered toward school teaching and nursing. Our daughters, sons, and grandchildren will learn of the experiences, triumphs, and failures of this generation through interviews, anecdotes, and historic photos in ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS. Matilda Butler and Kendra Bonnett have given us a provocative personal history of our time. Christine L. Borgman, Professor &amp; Presidential Chair in Information Studies, Univ. of California, Los Angeles </li></ul>
<ul><li>Diving into the memoir, ROSIE'S DAUGHTERS, was like reading a fun history book where I recognized five generations of my own family. I love the unique format of this book. If I were studying history, I could cram for the test just by riding the ;fast track; timeline that runs across the bottom of each page. It is evident that Butler and Bonnett are not only scholars and psychologists, but compassionate human-being who have added a significant chapter to our U.S. history books. Betty Auchard, speaker and award-winning memoir author, Dancing in My Nightgown</li></ul>
