The narrator’s voice was not my favorite

Revisado: 10-17-19

I love Johnson’s work and bought the print copy after not being able to listen to the narrator’s voice.

Fascinating research presented beautifully

Revisado: 02-18-19

I’m completely fascinated by the science of endurance, and this book satisfied my curiosity from every angle. The studies and stories were extremely interesting, and the delivery was perfect for listeners outside the science world. I was sad to see it end.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Revisado: 05-18-16

Thank you Rebecca Traister for this book! As a 40-something divorced mother of five, I have struggled to find my identity outside of my traditional marriage. This book feels like a roadmap or at least guideposts to how to be a woman at this phase of my life! I am also sharing what I am learning with my two adult daughters. It's empowering to have a modern compendium of excellent women to turn to in 2016!

Tame but good

Revisado: 04-26-16

After listening to Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, I found Agnes Grey tame by comparison. However, I enjoyed Anne Bronte's quiet and thoughtful story of a level-headed woman who makes her way in the world with poise and grace.

On old favorite

Revisado: 04-19-16

Juliet Stevenson perfectly sums up my feelings about Wuthering Heights at the end of her narration. I loved and romanticized the book as a young girl, but as an adult I see the tragic selfishness of the couple that leads to so much misery. Stevenson does s beautiful job as narrator.

Narrator's voice is very distracting.

Revisado: 03-22-16

Great content but the narrator used strange cartoonish voices when ready quotes. It was very distracting and took away from the power and authority of these amazing women.

Great performance!

Revisado: 03-03-16

There is a lot to love about this story, but there are several elements that drag out the story to the point I was tempted to stop listening.

I love Juliet Stevenson's voice!

Revisado: 03-01-16

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite Jane Austen novel. It's hard for me to enjoy Emma's silliness or her rudeness. I found myself anxious for the story to end. Thank goodness for Juliet Stevenson's performance.

Still relevant

Revisado: 02-14-16

I am amazed at how relevant Wollstonecraft's work is today. I became aware of my own ignorance with regard to the subtle oppression still felt by women over 200 years after this book was written. I'm glad I took the time to study this work more closely.
