Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-13 00:00:00 Michael Sheil I was expecting more from this book than it delivered. While it is a good overview of the history of the 1850s, in too many of the passages the journalistic history is secondary to the general history being presented. The start of the book, which presented some of the history of 19th century journalism and how technology affected newspapers, was quite good. I had expected more of the same as the book progressed, but what it delivered instead were more the journalistic reactions to events, as well as a few cases in which journalists blew events out of proportion.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-27 00:00:00 Ronald P Omell This book was a fantastic and quick read. I think it is important that our generation know that it wasn't just one day in 1950's that women decided to wear pants but a long struggle with women and men on both sides of the debate. I loved the real pictures and quotes and just wished there was more. Hats(and skirts)off to Catherine Smith for this book. p.s Catherine, are you looking for another research assistant?
