A select collection of the many articles from her column wit's end. They are both dated and timeless. It's always so telling to read older works because they reveal the mindset of the time, the accepted behavior of society, and how we've either grown or failed socially moving forward. It's even more interesting when something is so insightful that it transcends all time and will continue to do so even as society moves further and further away from the event that inspired it. The organization was grouped by larger categories, which meant dates jumped backwards each new section, not sure if I did or didn't like that, but I guess it has to have some kind of organizing. I think I would have preferred to stay in chronological order, it could have been broken down by year or decade as easily.
