I picked up this book as the title reminded of one of my favorite childhood reads. I always considered myself as a "Jo March-esque" child and loved the tomboy ideas. However, I kept reading because the stories are strongly written and kept me thinking of the last heroine well into the next story. The whirlwind of experiences is a delight to read and I devoured them all!

Once I started to read one particular story, however, I was hooked. The short story of one woman returning to her childhood summer camp rang true. I now work full-time at that camp and I am excited to say that although things have changed, and will continue to do so, the ideologies of camping have remained the same.

The entire book was well-written as well as entertaining. It is an inspiration to know that women throughout the century have been struggling with the same misconceptions as we do.

A great read and a book that keep you thinking well after the cover is closed.
