by Marge Piercy
“Enjoyable…unusually entertaining…engrossing. In Woodhull and Freydeh, Piercy has created fascinating portraits of women determined to live on their own terms.”
—Christian Science Monitor
“Piercy does beautifully render some of the details of women’s lives in the 1860s.”
—Naomi Wolf, Elle magazine
“Fascinating and only too relevant… Piercy has a gift for conjuring the texture of an historical era.”
—Washington Post Book World
“Succeeds remarkably in bringing history textbook characters to fully re alized, fiery, and memorable life.”
—Hartford Courant
