A Room of Their Own is an examination of forty women's home museums currently open to the public.

The homes serve as three dimensional diaries where their former chatelaines yet hover-through their furnishings, knickknacks, and decor. The book appeals to those interested in women's studies, history, biography, trivia, and museums. The book can provide ideas for bucket-list travel destinations, as well as to armchair travelers.
