 a book just being written in a woman’s perspective doesn’t make it feminist literature. way too much male-centered plots and boring ones at that

I liked some of the short stories, others didn’t do it for me. I have mixed feelings about short story collections in general, so that’s part of it. I found this book in my house with a bunch of books that my mom read in high school and college. It seems so obvious that we grew up in different waves of feminism. That is fascinating to me, but the stories themselves weren’t necessarily awe-inspiring.
