While Ulrich does momentarily forge connections between her three central authors and other memorable women at the beginning of each chapter, the lucid transitions and apparent connections begin to unravel near the end. True, she makes her point clear: there have been many examples of women who have earned the right to have their names alongside those of George Washington or Frederick Douglass.

The Business School’s new bell, which was dubbed the Centennial Bell in honor of the school’s 100th anniversary next year, rang in its new home...
...anecdotes. “The book is like a Facebook number from the Harvard Lampoon,” said Lushing, a former member of the semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. The book’s main chapter categorizes Facebook users into one of five stereotypes. Among them are “newsers,” who use Facebook as a liveblog to document their most trivial actions; “self-promoters,” who exaggerate their features to make them appear more exciting...
