An interesting read on social changes in the 1970's
My wife and I belong to a number of book clubs, one of which, https://platomadison.org/page-20154#W8, will be discussing Gail Collins' book "When Everything Changed" [https://www.librarything.com/work/8475102/t/When-Everything-Changed-The-Amazing-Journey-of-American-Women-from-1960-to-the-Present]
I have always liked Gail Collins' writing and found this book with its recounting of the societal upheavals of the 60's and 70's to be fascinating, especially because we lived it. It is good to be reminded of the changes in women's lives over our lifetimes and, unfortunately, how far we still have to go

That sounds like a truly engaging read! Gail Collins has such a wonderful way of blending history, personal stories, and cultural insight. When Everything Changed captures a pivotal era — the 60s and 70s really were decades of transformation, especially for women’s rights and social roles. It’s fascinating (and sometimes sobering) to reflect on how much progress has been made and how some challenges still persist today.
Your book club’s choice couldn’t be more relevant, especially for understanding how those social shifts continue to shape our world. Discussions like these help keep those lessons alive and inspire continued change.
