I found this book to be a bit academically dry in a kind of "this happened and then this happened" kind of way. Still, it's packed with a lot of information about the part that white women have played in the creation of modern conservatism. The book doesn't actually make that case explicitly, but it's pretty hard to read about women trying to control textbooks and education and removing prayer in schools and the like and not draw a straight line to things like modern library book bans and other Christo-fascist elements of the right-wing.
