It is exciting because their book reads like a well written--very well written--suspense novel. Novels can be suspenseful only because the author knows what will happen next. But this isn't a novel, and in the case of _Courting Equality_, we already know what will happen. Yet in spite of that, it reeks of nail-biting suspense. How did they do that? However they did, you will likely find yourself with racing pulse and big eyes as you read. The authors tell the history of the movement in a comprehensive way so you realize on a gut level how much change has occurred. I found myself alternatively cursing and cheering as the story unfolded. There is nothing dry about this book. It is sure to engage you and leave you with ear to ear teeth showing. I have only seen the pictures on this website, but if they are any indication of what is in the published book, as I'm sure they are, Marilyn Hunphries has provided us with unforgetable images that stand on their own, as well as boost the book to a higher level by being able to both read and see.
