The Woman ReaderLunteers who taught literacy to women and children on convict ships bound for AustraliaToday new distinctions between male and female readers have emerged and Jack explores such contemporary topics as burgeoning women's reading groups differences in men and women's reading tastes censorship of women's on line reading in countries like Iran the continuing struggle for girls' literacy in many poorer places and the impact of women readers in their new status as significant movers in the world of readi. I found this book to be thorough and a little interesting Ms Jack examined the reading and writing habits of women since reading began A little too thorough most of the time I wouldn't recommend it to any one other than those seriously interested in a lot of minute detail of women's reading history

I think I wanted a different book This isn't a bad book really but I got uite frustrated with it I wrongly assumed a greater scope on the history of women readers and started this with gusto I'm afraid I got bored of the earlier history lots and lots about the bible Interesting enough at first but then it started to grate on me Still I stuck with it waiting to get to the good bit the 20th century woman reader And after reading about the bible nuns and the advent of the printing press actually uite interesting I flicked ahead and realised everything I wanted to read about was in one chapter the last This was when I gave up if I heard the bible mentioned one time I would scream So I read the last chapter and uite enjoyed it but I was left wanting to know so much More about the internet and how tv affects our reading habits as women please Does the work of vida affect how women read What about the seventies and feminism That must have affected our reading habits right Feminist publishing companies like virago I'm sure that the majority of their readers are probably women How about two world wars The jazz age all of these things must have had some affect on us and the types of books women read and also write it's probably too hard to disentangle the reader from the writer We get a touchstone on feminist theory in universities oh what a great chapter that could have been Let alone a chapter on blue stocking Also talks about world literacy and how girls and women are often the ones getting left behind would in my mind have made a great chapter in itself So after all that I'd say if you go into this not wanting as much of the later history then this book would be really interesting But if like myself you want on the 20th century then maybe not and if the author would like to write a follow up focusing on the latter then I would most defiantly read it
