This is an interesting retrospective of the years between 1945-1965 seen through the eyes of two young women. Quinn is clearly empathic to the struggle for female agency and independence but there are times where this feels a little self-conscious, especially in the contrasts between the women at its heart.

That said, this paints an energetic picture of social change and captures the cultural leap from a post-war world to something recognizably 'modern'.

For me, Quinn has never quite recaptured the brilliance of 'Half of the Human Race': this is absorbing and intelligent, though, with interesting things to say.
