Un clàssic contemporani molt proper a la Mística de la Feminitat de Friedan. Entenc la seva importància, però li calen avisos de contingut i un bon aparell crític per donar context.

5.0

This book was incredibly written, Esther’s depression was so well written and the treatment she received from other people showed that depression and other mental illnesses weren’t fully understood back then, and that no one truly understood her struggles. I found a lot of her struggles to be relatable, and I felt like she was a very real character.
