This was one of the best books I've read this year, and it was one of the most profound novels on the women's movement I have read, though I am not well versed in feminist history (😅). This did such a good job at describing the struggle that women went through in their professional lives and how that intersected with their personal lives. This is still so prevalent today, and as sad as it is, I feel like this story conveyed the struggle and strife so well. Also this book is bomb with classical string music, and screw men forever 💕
