Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today by Rachel Vorona Cote

ksmith952's review against another edition

informative fast-paced

2.5

The premise of the book is fascinating and there are some moments of good points and well-researched observations. However, much of the book revolves around the author’s personal history rather than to the topic set out in the title. While the author has her own journey, as do we all, that’s not what I want to learn. The book would have been half the size but twice the interest l to me had Ms. Cote dispensed with the autobiography.
