One of the best books I’ve ever read. A very thoughtful look at women’s role in their own lives, the things women feel forced to do in society and whether or not they can do those things truly for themselves - especially as it comes to having children , the morality behind it and the guise of freedom behind it — what it means to be a woman and if there’s any escape from those expectations even via defying the roles or the gender entirely — how women thrive under their own power despite the practically zero help outside of their own community of other women —  incredible book could go on for hours , will have to reread :)
