Six women - ordinary yet extraordinary. All have lived 100 years, mostly in Great Britain, and witnessed remarkable changes throughout the 20th century. The idea behind the book had been to celebrate the centenary of 'Votes for Women' in 1918, but ended up as so much more as the vastly different lives of the six unfolded during the many hours that the author spent interviewing them in their own homes. A wonderful historical record and a fascinating and memorable read.
