Probably a great book to read but a bit difficult to listen to. There are so many names and historic figured thrown at you that it sometimes difficult to follow. The voice of the narrator is also quite monotone. But definitely thought provoking and giving a glimpse in important American history and the evolvement of gay and women rights.
