A delightful read, one that I would recommend to group and community workers for a creative and derivative approach to themes of group culture, diversity, organizational culture, and feminist thought.

Holman Jones' atmospheric accounts of her own interactions and reactions to the Club do indeed make one feel as though one was almost there....The ease with with Holman Jones deals with the complex processes of ethnography would make the book an invaluable teaching resource. She easily de-mystifies an aspect of anthropology that is seldom examined, still less taught, where the apprenticeship approach is still the dominant approach.
