The Washington Post – Curtis Sittenfeld
…[a] breezy and entertaining book, which—like the women themselves—takes pleasure in both playing up and defying the stereotypes of the time…Koppel is chronicling a cultural moment more than any particular person, and in this she excels. The details are superb, from the ham loaves the women cooked to the Virginia Slims they chain-smoked, the fur hot pants and Pucci dresses they wore, the luaus and shrimp-boil parties they threw, and the Mercury-capsule-shaped community swimming pool they shared.
