So beautifully written and emotional and the ending was so perfect. The extended metaphor of the bell jar was so good

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.

It is a wonderful and  haunting read. This book really reflects well on conditions of women on those times and how little choices and freedom they had on how they have to live there lives and It also reflects and presents a clear picture on menta health stigma on those times. 

On Character wise, Esther Greenwood was plain, confused and has her own flaws like any women at her age typically do about still that only made her more real and how she goes through her mental issues and societal pressure. She was adequate to what this novel tries to encompass. 

I Read this is kinda semi autobiography of author which is really haunting and made us appreciate how conditions of women have improved through time and how mental health is considered an issue compared to the times the novel takes place in.

Sería un gran libro si no fuera por que es profundamente racista.

Just read the first few pages and it was already racist. Not worth my time and it shouldn’t be worth your time either.
