I found this book very tense, disturbing & at times, confusing. I understand where the author was trying to go with it, however I feel that it fell a bit short of that.

I don’t know how to capture the qualities of this book in a review. You had to be there. Holy. Wow. I don’t study literature anymore but every fiber of my body is twitching to write a ten-page analysis. This book is a great read for women in academia.
