Women and history
Here's a book about women, about history - The Girls of Atomic City.
I just heard about this on the PBS News Hour, and surely it will be featured on BookTV sometime soon.
Anyway, it's about the women who worked in Oak Ridge, TN, on the Manhattan Project - the super-secret development of the atomic bomb during WW2. If you're not from this area, you might not know about Oak Ridge, but it was an amazing situation. I've bought this book for my iPad, and am really looking forward to reading it.

I know a little about Oak Ridge, and I would love to read this book.
However, wait for my post on the failure of my public library.
Sounds fabulous! (still cannot comment here from my phone....grr)
