Birth of the Chess Queen by M. Yalom

Has anyone read this book? Is it worthwhile from a chess history point of view or is it feminist propaganda? Above all, is it a worthwhile read?

While I skipped parts of the book which I didn’t think were all that interesting, other parts of the book were excellent, well researched, and well written. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the transition between old and new chess.
