When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the PresentGail Collins, New York Times columnist and bestselling author, recounts the astounding revolution in women's lives over the past 50 years, with her usual "sly wit and unfussy style" (People).

Gail Collins, New York Times columnist and bestselling author, recounts the astounding revolution in women's lives over the past 50 years, with her usual "sly wit and unfussy style" (People). When Everything Changed begins in 1960, when most American women had to get their husbands' permission to apply for a credit card. It ends in 2008 with Hillary Clinton's historic presidential campaign. This was a time of cataclysmic change, when, after four hundred years, expectations about the lives of American women were smashed in just a generation. A comprehensive mix of oral history and Gail Collins's keen research -- covering politics, fashion, popular culture, economics, sex, families, and work -- When Everything Changed is the definitive book on five crucial decades of progress. The enormous strides made since 1960 include the advent of the birth control pill, the end of "Help Wanted -- Male" and "Help Wanted -- Female" ads, and the lifting of quotas for women in admission to medical and law schools. Gail Collins describes what has happened in every realm of women's lives, partly through the testimonies of both those who made history and those who simply made their way. Picking up where her highly lauded book America's Women left off, When Everything Changed is a dynamic story, told with the down-to-earth, amusing, and agenda-free tone for which this beloved New York Times columnist is known. Older readers, men and women alike, will be startled as they are reminded of what their lives once were -- Father Knows Best and My Little Margie on TV; daily weigh-ins for stewardesses; few female professors; no women in the Boston marathon, in combat zones, or in the police department. Younger readers will see their history in a rich new way. It has been an era packed with drama and dreams -- some dashed and others realized beyond anyone's imagining.Binding Type: Paperback

Excellent Quality and Beautiful!
Color: Natural Pine - Satin Clear Coat Finish, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 2, Size: 16 inch
This is the second order I’ve made of these shelves (a different length and color for a different room). I’ve put up floating shelves before, and over time they listed although they never fell down. Everything about these shelves suggests they will last a long time. The shelves are beautiful, very well sanded and varnished, and the wood grain is lovely (same with the darker shelves). The installation is relatively simple with easy-to-understand instructions and the support that the shelf fits into is sturdy. Everything works as the directions say, and the shelves seem sturdy when installation is complete. The seller clearly takes pride in their product; even the packaging is very carefully and artfully done. A drill makes the job far easier than it would with just a screwdriver. One set of my shelves are placed one directly below another, so it took some time and my 2 foot level to make sure they are vertically even. If the shelves are offset from each other, as we did with the first installation, it’s easier and takes less time. I would recommend these to anyone.

Premium Quality Shelves That Look Amazing
Color: American Walnut - Satin Dark Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 3, Size: 36 inch, Color: American Walnut - Satin Dark Tone, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 3, Size: 36 inch
For my Kitchen remodel, I’ve ordered several of these shelves, in different lengths, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the quality. I had never installed floating shelves before, but the process was surprisingly straightforward even when I customized my own corner setup.
The shelves are beautiful, made from real wood with exquisite grain patterns, and they arrive very well sanded and varnished. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the mounting bracket is sturdy with an excellent precision fit. Once installed, the shelves feel extremely solid and secure.
This company clearly takes pride in its products. Even the packaging is carefully and thoughtfully done. With some careful measuring, clamps, and a pocket hole jig, I was able to combine two different shelf sizes to create a custom corner shelf that turned out great.
I highly recommend these shelves and will definitely continue purchasing them as I add more to my home.

These floating shelves are absolutely excellent quality. Everything from the packaging to the final product was top notch.

The finish and craftsmanship are beautiful, the hardware feels solid, and installation was straightforward. Once mounted, they looked even better than expected and feel very sturdy. The golden oak finish adds a clean, modern, high end look to the room. Highly recommend if you’re looking for floating shelves that actually look and feel premium.

Clean Aesthetic, Limited Adjustment on Brackets
Color: Natural Pine - Satin Clear Coat Finish, Number Of Shelves: Pack of 2, Size: 16 inch
These shelves look really nice once installed—the natural wood finish gives a clean, high-end look that fits well with pretty much any space. Installation was straightforward and didn’t take much time, which I appreciated.
My only downside is the bracket design. I wish it had some kind of micro-adjustment option after drilling, because if your holes aren’t perfectly aligned the first time, it can be a bit frustrating to get everything level.
Overall though, still a solid product—sturdy, good quality, and definitely adds a nice aesthetic to the wall.

I used these shelves for my espresso area and I love them. The unboxing experience was so nice, it caught me off guard! Everything felt very handcrafted and sturdy. The finish on the real wood was very nice. It came with everything I needed for installation, which was very convenient. Installation was super easy and everything fit together perfectly. I am very pleased with these shelves!
